Ingredients
Scale
- Key Ingredients:
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup lukewarm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preparation Instructions:
- 1. Activate the Yeast
- In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water and honey. Sprinkle active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about five minutes until foamy.
- 2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture.
- 3. Combine Wet Ingredients
- Add olive oil to the yeast mixture before pouring it into the well you created in the flour. Stir until combined; the mixture will be sticky.
- 4. Knead the Dough
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about eight minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- 5. Let It Rise
- Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about one hour).
- 6. Shape and Bake
- After rising, punch down the dough gently and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased loaf pan and let it rise again for about thirty minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for approximately thirty-five minutes until golden brown on top.
- 7. Cool Before Slicing
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
