Soft Honey Wheat Bread
Servings: 10 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup water warmed to 110°F to 115°F
- ½ cup milk warmed to 110°F to 115°F
- 2 ¼ teaspoon(s) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon(s) granulated sugar
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or other neutral tasting oil
- 1 large egg lightly beaten; room temperature
- 1 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Pour the water, milk, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk briefly then let the mixture set undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes until foamy and tan in color.½ cup water, ½ cup milk, 2 ¼ teaspoon(s) active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon(s) granulated sugar
- Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, honey, olive oil, egg, and salt. Use the dough hook and mix until combined. Then slowly add the remaining ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour and 2 cups of wheat flour.⅓ cup honey, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon(s) salt, 2 cups whole wheat flour
- Mix on the second mixer speed for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough forms a cohesive, small ball. It should pull away from the top and sides of the bowl but will stick to the bottom of the bowl. The dough will be sticky to the touch.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, and form into a ball. Place it in a large, greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to double in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough to deflate it and turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 8x12-inches. Roll from the short end and pinch the seam together. Place the dough in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan, seam side down.
- Cover the pan with greased plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it’s about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.
- Remove the plastic wrap, and bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
