How to Make Nice Texture Whole Wheat Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon honey. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups whole wheat flour, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding ¼ cup of flour at a time as needed to prevent sticking. During the last 2 minutes of kneading, incorporate ½ cup toasted walnuts.
  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. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the 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 oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
