Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, gently warm the milk until it’s lukewarm (about 100-110°F). Remove from heat and stir in the honey and melted butter until fully combined.

Step 2

Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy. This ensures the yeast is activated.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Mix well.

Step 4

Pour the milk and yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the loaf loosely with a towel and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Enjoy your homemade Milk and Honey Wheat Bread with butter, jam, or as the base for your favorite sandwich.
