1 ½ cups warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon agave nectar
3 cups whole wheat flour

Steps:

Pour water into a microwave-safe measuring cup and heat in the microwave oven for about 1 minute. Check temperature using a food thermometer to be sure water is no hotter than 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Add yeast and agave; let sit until foamy, about 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and place a Dutch oven inside to warm for 30 minutes.
Use floured hands to carefully drop dough into the hot Dutch oven. Use potholders to place the lid on the Dutch oven.
Bake in the hot oven for 30 minutes. Uncover Dutch oven and bake until bread is deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove and let cool.

Tips:

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This will help the dough rise evenly and prevent a dense loaf.
Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will create a steamy environment that helps the bread rise and develop a crispy crust.
Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
Bake the bread at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will help the crust to set and give the bread a golden brown color.
Reduce the temperature and continue baking until the bread is cooked through. The bread is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help the bread to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Dutch oven whole wheat bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a loaf of fresh, homemade bread that your family and friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
