Easy Whole Wheat Bread Recipe – Healthy & Delicious

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Combine lukewarm water, milk, and honey in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt. Add this mixture to the yeast mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Add the softened butter pieces to the dough and mix until mostly incorporated. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
