Honey Wheat Bread



Well my family loves Wheat bread and we go through it like nobodies business. So i decided to make my own and it turned out AH-MAZING. So easy and so worth it.

Whatcha Need:

Makes: 1 loaf
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees F)
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see additional notes for a 100% whole wheat version)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons instant active dry yeast


How to do it:
 First proof your yeast with your warm water, and honey (stir yeast in and let sit for 10 minutes until bubbly.)

then combine the first  (minus the water, because you already used it, duh) 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; stir.

 Add flours and yeast and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.

Punch dough down; knead for a few minutes until smooth and then form into a loaf. Place in greased loaf pan and cover. Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. If loaf starts browning too soon, put a piece of foil over the top loosely

Remove bread from oven and allow to rest in pan for a few minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cover with a cloth. Slice and enjoy while still warm!

Stumbled across this recipe a few weeks ago and its worth it. Give it a try!

BEEN THERE DONE THAT: I altered the taste sometimes. Drop the brown sugar and double to honey for a more honey taste.
