How to Make Whole Wheat Bread With Honey

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons honey.
  2. Add 3 cups whole wheat flour and 1 ½ teaspoons salt.
  3. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Gradually add the remaining 1 ½ - 2 cups whole wheat flour, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes). If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1-1.5 hours).
  6. Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or rolls.
  7. Place the shaped dough in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
