Honey Wheat Bread

1. In a large mixing bowl combine:

1 1⁄4 Cup Very Warm Water
1 tsp. Yeast
2 Tablespoons Honey (2 Tablespoons of sugar may be substituted)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1⁄2 tsp. Himalayan Salt

2. Then add:

Add 2 3⁄4 C. flour. Mix until well combined. Dough should hold its shape when made into a ball, but still be sticky. If the dough does not hold its shape, work in additional flour, 1⁄4 C. at a time until the dough does not “roll away”.

3. Cover with a lid or wet towel and let rise for 20 minutes.

Alternately, dough can be worked an additional 5 minutes until it is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. At this point the bread is ready to be shaped.

4. On an oiled surface, kneed dough to work out bubbles.

It should have a smooth, elastic texture. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan.

5. Cover with a wet lightweight towel or oiled plastic wrap.

Let rise until almost doubled.

6. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees.

The bread is done when the bottom of the loaf is lightly browned.

7. Remove from pan. Cool on a dry towel or wire rack.

8. Slice & Enjoy!
