This recipe for Easy whole wheat bread is delicious and easy to make using simple ingredients.

 

Directions

1. To dissolve, combine warm water, yeast, 1/3 cup honey, and a large bowl. Mix in 5 cups of bread flour and stir. Allow to rest for 30 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and firm.
2. Add three tablespoons of melted butter, 1/3 cup of honey, and season with salt. Mix in 2 cups whole grain flour. Place the dough on a floured surface. Knead in 2 cups of whole wheat flour. Knead dough until it pulls away from the work surface. If necessary, add more whole wheat flour. The dough should feel a little tacky but not sticky.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn once to coat it. Cover the bowl with a dish towel, and let rise in a warm area for 45 minutes to an hour.
4. Three 9×5-inch loaf pans should be greased. Divide the dough into three loaves. Allow the dough to rise in the prepared loaf pans for 45 minutes to an hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175° C) while you wait.
6. Bake the loaves until golden brown in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake.
7. To prevent the crust from becoming hard, lightly brush the tops with the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Allow cooling completely.
