Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F after the dough completes its second rise.
- In a large bowl, dissolve honey in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in melted butter, whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan lightly with butter or oil.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled. Shape into a loaf and place in the prepared pan. Let rise again for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes
- Brush the top with melted butter after baking for a softer crust.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for best texture.
