Whole Wheat Bread is a nutritious and delicious type of bread made primarily from whole wheat flour. It offers more fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to bread made with refined flour. Here’s a recipe for Whole Wheat Bread:

Preparation time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes
Ready in: 2 hours 30-40 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and olive oil (or melted butter).
  3. Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix well until a rough dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You may need to add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf by rolling it out into a rectangle and tightly rolling it up from one end. Pinch the seams to seal.
  7. Place the shaped loaf into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until it rises above the edges of the pan.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Once the dough has risen, gently brush the top with water or milk for a softer crust (optional).
  10. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy your homemade Whole Wheat Bread! It’s great for sandwiches, toasts, or enjoyed on its own.
