Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Rapid-rise (instant) yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rapid-rise yeast, and salt. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, and olive oil until the honey is fully dissolved.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Grease a large bowl lightly with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
After the initial rise, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 15 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
