So soft and delicious. Try not to add too much extra flour while kneading it.
WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR
(1 loaf)
Ingredients:
*1 cup warm water (not hot)
*3 teaspoons honey
*1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
*1/4 cup vegetable oil
*1/4 teaspoon salt
*2 1/2 cups wheat flour (you may need a little more for kneading)
Directions:
~In a large bowl add 1 cup warm water, 2 1/2 teaspoon honey, and 1 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast.
~Do light stir and allow to sit for about 10 minutes to proof (becomes foamy).
~Once proofed, add 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
~Stir until it comes together.
~Dump onto a clean surface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until dough becomes smooth and elastic.
~Shape dough into a ball.
~Grease a large bowl with butter, oil, or cooking spray and add dough.
~Flip dough so both sides get coated in oil.
~Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and allow dough to rise for 60 minutes or until double in size.
~Gently push the air out of the dough.
~Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or coat with butter or oil.
~Shape dough into a rectangle and loosely roll, tucking in the ends.
~Place into prepared loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel for 40-50 minutes, or until doubled in size.
~Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
~ Remove plastic wrap and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
~Remove from oven and pan and place on a cooling rack.
~Do not cut until cooled (it becomes doughy if cut to soon).
