In this image, you can see all the ingredients needed to make this delicious whole wheat sandwich bread. The honey adds a subtle sweetness to the bread, while the olive oil keeps it moist and tender. The active dry yeast helps the bread rise and become fluffy, and the warm water activates the yeast. The salt adds flavor to the bread and helps to balance out the sweetness from the honey.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, until the yeast is frothy.
- Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased bread pan and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Remove the bread from the pan and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
