In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water (about 38Β°C), honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, freshly milled whole wheat flour, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Sprinkle salt over the dough and knead it by hand or with a stand mixer (using a dough hook) for 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf by flattening it into a rectangle and rolling it tightly.
Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Once the dough has risen and slightly puffed, bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and enjoy your fresh, homemade bread! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
