Jean’s Honey Whole Wheat Bread

There are some recipes so deeply woven into a family’s story that they aren’t just food—they’re love, tradition, and history, all wrapped up in one perfect, golden loaf.

Cook

40m

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Place the honey, hot water and yeast in the bowl of a kitchenaid mixer or mixing bowl (if kneading by hand). Stir lightly, and allow to bubble for about 10 minutes until large bubbles form.

1/2 cup Honey

3 cup Hot water

1 1/2 tbsp Active dry yeast

Step 2

Once yeast is activated, add oil and 6 cups of fresh milled wheat flour or organic wheat flour. Knead for 1 minute, then add salt and knead for 4 more minutes.

1/2 cup Olive oil

6 cup Fresh milled flour

2-3 cup Organic bread flour

3/4 tbsp Salt

Step 3

Add remaining 2-3 cups of flour (add white here if using white flour) slowly, checking consistency as you go. Add more flour if dough is still really sticky to touch until bread pulls away from sides of bowl but is still tacky.

Step 4

Knead for an additional 3 minutes. Place dough on counter, cover and let rise for 1/2 hour.

Step 5

Form loaf on a floured surface. Place in oiled bread pans (stainless steel recommended) and work the dough into the pan removing any air bubbles. Don’t overwork. Flip dough over by pinching the middle and flipping. Form a little more into the pan if needed to smooth the top. Let rise until 1 to 1 1/2 inches above pan's edge.

Step 6

Bake at 325 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown/deep brown on top. (Note: cook times vary depending on elevation and oven; the more you make this loaf you will become accustomed to when your loaves are done).
