Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 grams Whole wheat flour
- 360 milliliters Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 60 grams Honey
- 30 grams Olive oil
- 8 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and instant yeast. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add olive oil, whole wheat flour, and salt to the bowl. Mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can knead the dough using a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 6–8 minutes.
Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free location for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release excess air and shape it into a log. Place the dough into a greased 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan, seam side down.
Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until it has risen about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
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.
