📝 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1–1½ cups all-purpose flour (for softness)
  • 1 cup warm water (not hot)
  • 2 tbsp honey 🍯
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted) or oil
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tsp salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Activate Yeast

  • In a bowl, mix warm water + honey.
  • Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Make Dough

  • Add melted butter and salt.
  • Stir in whole wheat flour.
  • Gradually add all-purpose flour until a soft dough forms.

3. Knead

  • Knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. First Rise

  • Place dough in a greased bowl.
  • Cover and let rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled.

5. Shape

  • Punch down dough and shape into a loaf.
  • Place in a greased loaf pan.

6. Second Rise

  • Let it rise again for 30–45 minutes.

7. Bake

  • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.

8. Finish

  • Brush with a little butter or honey for a soft, shiny crust.

💡 Tips:

  • Add oats or seeds on top for texture 🌾
  • Use more whole wheat for a denser, healthier loaf
  • Don’t overheat the water—it can kill the yeast
