HONEY WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• Add the honey, yeast and 1/4 cup of warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow to sit for approximatly 5 minutes until yeast becomes foamy.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the mixer and set to low. Mix until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured counter top and knead for 5-8 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is really sticky you can add 1-2 tablespoons of flour at at time until it smooth.
• Lightly coat a bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled. This will usually take about an hour. If it is cold out, you can place the bowl in the oven with the oven light on, or use the proof setting on your oven if it has it.
• Once the dough has doubled, turn out onto a counter and divide into two equal portions. I like to use a kitchen scale for this, but you can just estimate if you like.
• With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to approximatly 9x12 inches, then roll up from the short side. Gently tuck the ends under then place the rolled dough seam side down into greased loaf pans.
• Cover with a clean tea towl and allow to rise until almost doubled, approximatly an hour. You can also cover with plastic wrap, but be sure not to wrap it tightly as you need room for the dough to expand.
• Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 350 degrees
• Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and sound hollow when tapped
• Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
• Slice and serve. Store in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for about a week, or you can freeze for up to 3 months.

HONEY WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water, then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides of dough to meet in middle, slightly overlapping. Press seam to seal. Place dough, seam-side down, in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until dough is about 3/4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely. Bread can be stored, tightly wrapped, at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.
