Honey Wheat Bread

🍞🍯 Honey Wheat Bread

📝 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
