Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups White whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 0.25 cups Milk (room temperature)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the honey, olive oil, warm water, and milk to the dry mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can knead using a stand mixer with a dough hook for 6-8 minutes on medium speed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 - 1.5 hours.
After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your freshly baked White Whole Wheat Bread with your favorite spreads or as sandwich bread.
