Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup bread flour
  • 1-1.25 cups warm water [temperature around 110 f]
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 egg (small)

Instruction

  • In the stainless steel bowl of your stand mixer, add whole wheat flour, bread flour, salt, sugar, egg and instant yeast.
  • Add olive oil and turn on the stand mixture at speed 1 or 2 with flat beater attachment.
  • Add warm water into the mixture till the dough starts coming together.
  • Replace the flat beater with dough hook once the dough comes together and knead for 7-8 minutes at slow speed [1 or 2]. In case you are kneading with your hands, knead for around 15 minutes till the dough looks smooth. It will be sticky.
  • Once the dough appears smooth, apply some oil on top and place it in a bowl. Keep the bowl in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours.
  • The dough will double in size after 1.5 hours, take it out and punch it down to flatten it. Knead with hands or in the stand mixer for a minute or two.
  • Shape the bread loaf and put in the loaf pan.
  • Apply some oil on top and keep it in a warm place for 20 minutes again. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • The dough will rise for a second time after 20 minutes or so.
  • Place the pan in the oven and bake at 375 F for 35-40 minutes.
  • When done, the bread will appear golden brown and sound hollow when tapped from bottom.
  • Let the bread cool completely before cutting it into slices. Apply some butter or oil on top.
