Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of warm water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 packet of active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 1 cup of warm water until the honey is dissolved.
- Add the honey and water mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the bread for 30-40 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Whole wheat bread has been a staple in diets for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations. The process of milling whole wheat flour began around 10,000 years ago, and the bread has since become a beloved dietary component worldwide. Chefs and bakers have perfected the art of creating whole wheat bread, with variations in recipes and techniques across different regions. The Pacific Northwest of the United States is known for its exceptional whole wheat bread, with renowned bakeries such as Grand Central Bakery in Portland and Seattle. The key to a perfect whole wheat bread lies in using high-quality whole wheat flour and allowing the dough to ferment properly for a rich, nutty flavor.
