Recipe for Whole Wheat Bread
- Mix the yeast with honey, add 2 tablespoons water and flour. Leave for 30-40 minutes.
- When the yeast activates, place it in a bowl and mix all the ingredients.
- Set the dough hook. Knead at low speed until smooth 10 min. If necessary, add a little water or flour.
- Form a loaf and place it in a bowl. Leave to ferment for 4-5 hours (can be longer) and cover with a towel. We noticed if the dough ferments longer, bread turns out better in texture.
- Put the dough on the table and play with it for a few minutes, kneading well.
- Shape the bread. We made 2 long loaves, they are easier to cut.
- Place the bread on a parchment and leave on the table for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 392F (200 C) together with the baking sheet.
- When the bread grows again, put it onto the hot baking sheet with the parchment.
- Bake for 1 hour.
