Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.

Step 2

Add the honey, melted butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until the honey thoroughly dissolves.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour to the bowl, mixing continuously. Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed, but be careful not to add too much.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, turning it once to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release any air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf.

Step 7

Place the shaped loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover it loosely with the cloth and let it rise again until it has doubled in size, approximately 30-45 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

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