Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110-115°F)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Rolled oats (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, then stir to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once combined, add the bread flour and continue mixing until the dough starts to come together.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, lightly dust with additional flour as needed.

Step 5

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Cover the pan with the kitchen towel again and allow the dough to rise for another 30-40 minutes until it doubles in size once more.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, lightly brush the top of the dough with water and sprinkle rolled oats for garnish.

Step 9

Bake the bread in the preheated oven 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 let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
