How to Make 50 50 Whole Wheat Bread Abm

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) and 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 1 ½ cups bread flour, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture.
3. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
6. Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 45-60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
