Whole Wheat Bread

This whole wheat bread is not only healthy but also simple to make. Whether you enjoy it toasted with butter or as a sandwich base, this recipe yields a soft and fluffy texture that is hard to resist. Plus, your kitchen will smell heavenly while it bakes!

Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 and 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, dissolve the honey (or sugar) in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
Mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch bread pan.
Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until it puffs up above the top of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice your homemade whole wheat bread and enjoy it however you like! Whether you slather on some peanut butter, make a delicious sandwich, or simply enjoy it with a little honey, this bread is sure to please everyone!
