Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 Cup Warm water
2 1/4 tsp Active dry yeast
1/3 Cup Honey
1 1/4 Cup Warm water
1 tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Olive oil
3 Cups Whole wheat bread flour
1 1/2 Cups All purpose flour

Steps:

  • Add the honey, yeast and 1/4 cup of warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow to sit for approximatly 5 minutes until yeast becomes foamy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the mixer and set to low. Mix until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured counter top and knead for 5-8 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is really sticky you can add 1-2 tablespoons of flour at at time until it smooth.
  • Lightly coat a bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled. This will usually take about an hour. If it is cold out, you can place the bowl in the oven with the oven light on, or use the proof setting on your oven if it has it.
  • Once the dough has doubled, turn out onto a counter and divide into two equal portions. I like to use a kitchen scale for this, but you can just estimate if you like.
  • With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to approximatly 9x12 inches, then roll up from the short side. Gently tuck the ends under then place the rolled dough seam side down into greased loaf pans.
  • Cover with a clean tea towl and allow to rise until almost doubled, approximatly an hour. You can also cover with plastic wrap, but be sure not to wrap it tightly as you need room for the dough to expand.
  • Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  • Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and sound hollow when tapped
  • Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
  • Slice and serve. Store in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for about a week, or you can freeze for up to 3 months.

Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Bread Copycat image

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups very warm water (see note below)
3 Tablespoons fast active-dry yeast
3/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon salt
10-11 cups whole wheat flour (freshly ground if possible)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add water, yeast, honey and salt. Let it rest for 5 minutes (or until the yeast foams).
  • Add in flour 1 cup at a time, kneading it between each cup of flour added if you are making it by hand. If you are making it with a mixer (like a Bosch or Kitchen Aid), use a paddle attachment and just let it mix while you add the flour.
  • Knead bread for about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add only enough flour so that the dough barely pulls away from the bowl. Every time I make bread, the amount of flour I use varies - humidity and elevation will make a big difference too. I usually use between 10-11 cups.
  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees; turn the oven off, and let dough rise inside the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove bowl from oven. Spray the back of your hand with cooking spray and punch down the dough. Form into a log and cut in half, forming two larger-sized loaves. Put into 2 greased loaf pans.
  • Again, preheat oven (if it?s not warm anymore) to 170 degrees and let the dough in the pans rise in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.
  • Remove dough from oven and set oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once oven is pre-heated, place the loaves back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from pans immediately and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
