4️⃣ Whole Wheat Bread
Ingredients:
- 500g (4 cups) whole wheat flour
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast and honey in lukewarm water. Let sit until foamy (5–10 mins).
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix into a dough and knead for 8–10 minutes.
- Cover and let rise until doubled in size (1–1.5 hours).
- Shape into a loaf, place in a greased tin, and let rise again until puffy.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is firm and it sounds hollow when tapped.
💡 Tips for Success:
- Measure flour correctly: Spoon and level rather than scooping.
- Use fresh yeast for best rise and texture.
- Let bread cool on a wire rack before slicing to prevent sogginess.
