Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 200 grams Bread flour (white flour)
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 10 grams Salt
• 5 grams Sugar
• 15 grams Butter (optional, melted)
• 30 grams Grain mix (optional, such as sunflower seeds or flaxseeds)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and active dry yeast in the warm water (approximately 38–40°C or 100–105°F). Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture. If you are adding melted butter and/or a grain mix, incorporate these into the dough as well.

Step 4

Mix the dough using a wooden spoon or your hands until it begins to come together.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8–10 minutes, until it is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky to the touch.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release any excess air. Shape the dough into a round loaf or place it in a lightly greased loaf pan, ensuring the seams are tucked beneath.

Step 8

Cover the loaf and let it rise again for 30–40 minutes, or until it has visibly puffed up.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). If desired, use a sharp knife or baker’s lame to score the top of the dough with a decorative pattern.

Step 10

Place the bread in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 200°C (390°F). Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve with butter, cheese, or spreads, and enjoy!
