Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, warm water, and honey. Sprinkle the yeast over top the liquids and let it sit for 5 minutes until it gets foamy. 2 cups warm milk, 1/4 cup warm water, 1/4 cup honey, 2 packages Red Star Platinum Superior Baking Yeast
- Add the whole wheat flour and mix it into the yeast mixture using the beater blade attachment just until the flour is moistened. Let that mixture rest for 10 minutes. 3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- Next, add in the salt, butter, and the bread flour. Using the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, beat the dough for 7-10 minutes on low speed. (If you don’t have a stand mixer you can knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface.) 1 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 1/4 cups bread flour-
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a cloth and place the bowl in a warm place to allow the dough to rise. Let the dough rise until it is almost double in size.
- Cut the risen dough into two equal pieces. Shape dough loaves and place in 2 greased 8×4″ bread pans. Cover the dough and let them rise in a warm place for another 20 minutes while the oven is heating to 350ºF.
- Once, the oven is preheated, bake for 30-35 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
- For the softest crust, brush the top of the loaf with butter while it is still warm. Remove the bread from the loaf pan and place it on a cooling rack.
- Let the bread cool and slice to serve. Store any extra bread in an airtight container.
Notes
- If the weather or your house is warm, room temperature may be a warm enough place for the dough to rise.
- Active dry yeast works in this recipe as well.
- Test the yeast bread with an instant-read thermometer. The internal temperature should be 190ºF.
- Want a shinier, more golden crust? Add an egg wash. Read our guide to the best bread washes.
