Ingredients
UnitsScale
- 1 1/2 c. hot water
- 1 1/2 c. cold milk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp yeast
- 1 Tbsp & 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 c. honey
- 5 Tbsp neutral flavored oil (like refined coconut oil (use the code STEWARDSHIP for 10% off at that site!))
- 6 2/3 c. whole wheat flour (I used naturally white whole wheat, it’s a little lighter and makes a fluffier bread than hard whole wheat)
Instructions
- Mix the water, milk, salt (Use the code kitchenstewardship for 15% off of your first purchase) and yeast until the yeast isn’t in a big chunk anymore. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix the whole thing together until uniform, but don’t knead or over work it. Cover and let rise for 2-3 hours.
- With wet hands take a hunk out the size of a cantaloupe. Shape it into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter turn as you go. Bake free form or in a greased loaf pan. Loaf pan should be slightly more than half full. Slash the top of the bread with a very sharp serrated knife to allow it to expand better.
- Let dough rest and rise 1 1/2 –2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 along with your baking stone if using, and pour 1-2C water into your METAL broiler pan at the bottom of the oven. Bake 40-50mins. Smaller loaves cook up much quicker so keep your eye on the bread and take it out when the crust is a nice deep golden brown.
