Time 3h35m

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons honey
1 3/4 cups warm water (110 degrees)
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 pound, 6 ounces (about 4 1/2 cups) freshly milled whole-wheat bread flour, such as Hayden Flour Mills Hard Red Spring, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for bowl and pan

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water, then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides of dough to meet in middle, slightly overlapping. Press seam to seal. Place dough, seam-side down, in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until dough is about 3/4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely. Bread can be stored, tightly wrapped, at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.

Time 3h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ⅛ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 tablespoons honey
⅓ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups bread flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps:

  • Add ingredients according to the manufacturer's directions to your bread machine. Use the wheat bread cycle and light color setting.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 180.4 calories, Carbohydrate 33.4 g, Fat 3.5 g, Fiber 2.8 g, Protein 5.2 g, SaturatedFat 0.5 g, Sodium 79.4 mg, Sugar 5.3 g

Tips:

  • Proof the yeast: Before adding the yeast to the dough, proof it in warm water with a little sugar. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a light and airy loaf of bread.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the temperature of the room.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: The bread should be baked at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for the first 15 minutes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: Once the bread is baked, let it cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Honey whole wheat bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. This bread is also relatively easy to make, and it can be made with ingredients that are readily available.
