How to Make Whole Wheat Herbed Garlic Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon honey. Mix well until the yeast is dissolved.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, oregano, thyme – or a mix!), and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
  4. Add 2 cups whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture.
  5. Mix by hand until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the remaining 2-2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8-10 minutes). Add more flour if needed to prevent stickiness.
  7. Lightly oil a large bowl. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  9. Gently shape the risen dough into a free-form loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
