Simple Whole Wheat Bread
"This is my basic go-to bread recipe. It can be changed in a billion ways - the flour switched up, sugar instead of honey, sourdough instead of active yeast starter, whatever. The dough is very flexible and can be shaped however desired, I personally prefer to make rolls, since I like crusty bread."

- Yields:
-
2 loaves
- Serves:
- 25
ingredients
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 2 cups white bread flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup powdered milk
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1⁄4 cups water
directions
- Mix as you usually mix your bread, food processor, bread machine, whatever. If you use a bread machine, use it on the dough cycle (trust me, bread is a million times better when not baked in a machine). I like that this recipe can be left in a bread machine for hours with a timer - set it up in the morning, come home at night to fresh bread dough.
- After initial rise/fall, punch down, and shape. This recipe generally takes about 45 minutes on the second rise to double in size.
- Bake at 425 for 30-40 minutes, misting the oven twice with water at 5 and 15 minutes (make sure you don't spray the light in your oven, it'll break).

I'm a horrible chef, but I'm a long time baker. I've been using recipes and reading reviews off of this site for ages, and figured it was time I joined in.
