Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Activate the Yeast:

  • In a bowl, combine warm water and honey (or sugar). Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

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

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture. Add olive oil. Mix until the dough comes together.

Knead the Dough:

  • Flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

First Rise:

  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Punch Down and Shape:

  • Gently punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf or the desired shape.

Second Rise:

  • Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet or in a greased loaf pan. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake:

  • If desired, slash the top of the bread with a sharp knife. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool and Enjoy:

  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For a softer crust, brush the bread with melted butter immediately after baking.
Experiment with adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the dough for added flavor and texture.
