Honey wheat bread is a comfort like no other and emits an aroma that warms the heart and conjurs memories of grandmothers and bakeries and dinners in great restaurants. I’ve presented honey wheat as the second bread of Christmas because it’s easy to make and universally loved. Enjoy!
12 Breads of Christmas — Honey Wheat
Save Recipe
Ingredients
9 oz warm water
1/3 c honey
4 tbl unsalted butter
2 c whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c white bread flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp dry active yeast (not quick acting)
Instructions
- Mix ingredients in the order listed, either in a bread machine, stand mixer, or a large baking bowl. Knead dough for about 10 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic and pulls away from the bowl.
- ... Alternate method is to dissolve the yeast in warm water until frothy, then add to dry ingredients.
- Let dough rest in a lightly greased bowl, covered loosely with a light cloth, for about 60 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a log. Place the dough in a lightly greased, standard-sized loaf pan.
- Cover the pan loosely with a light cloth and let the dough proof for 60 to 90 minutes. The dough should rise about 1 inch above the rim of the loaf pan.
- Place bread in preheated oven and bake for 20-35 minutes, until crust is golden brown. If you want to ensure your bread is done, you can insert an instant-read thermometer into the center to test for a temperature of 195°F to 200°F.
- Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out immediately so it doesn’t stick to the pan.
