Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked wild rice
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F/45°C) with the active dry yeast. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, honey, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Stir in the cooked wild rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch bread pan.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
