Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Milk (lukewarm)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey is dissolved.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water-honey mixture and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt together.

Step 4

Once the yeast mixture is foamy, add the vegetable oil and lukewarm milk to it.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, about 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 6

Once the dough starts to form, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it for 7–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 8

After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, or until it rises about 1 inch above the edge of the pan.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
