Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons instant yeast
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 ½ cups warm water (110 to 120 degrees F)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Stir all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, instant yeast, and salt together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Whisk water and oil together in a cup; pour into flour mixture. Mix on low speed until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl into a ball.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead just until dough is smooth, about 1 minute. Divide and shape dough into 3 balls for small loaves or 2 balls for larger loaves. Dust loaves with flour and place onto a baking sheet; cover with a towel, and let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slash an "X" about 1/4-inch deep in tops of loaves with a sharp knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven to cool completely on a wire rack.

RUSTICO HONEY WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

From Frank Morales, executive chef at Rustico in Alexandria, VA. via the Washington Post. Note: If you'd rather use a stand mixer, fit it with a dough hook and knead at medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes. MAKE AHEAD: This is a double-rise dough that needs 2 to 3 hours' resting time.

Time 4h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup lukewarm water (no hotter than 115 degrees)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1/4-ounce packet)
1 1/4 cups hot water
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, plus more for greasing the bowl (no substitutes)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups sifted unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
oil or butter, for greasing the loaf pan

Steps:

  • Place the lukewarm water in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the hot water, honey, shortening and salt in a large bowl, stirring until the honey and shortening have melted. Let cool until lukewarm, then add the yeast mixture, 1 1/2 cups of the whole-wheat flour and 1 cup of the sifted unbleached all-purposevflour; beat until well combined.
  • Add the remaining cup of sifted flour and enough of the remaining whole-wheat flour to make a moderately stiff dough.
  • Generously flour a work surface; turn the dough out onto it and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is very smooth and elastic.
  • Transfer the dough to a well-greased bowl, turn once and let it stand, covered, in a warm place away from drafts for 1 to 1/2 hours (depending on how warm your kitchen is) or until doubled in bulk. Punch down the dough.
  • Use a little shortening to grease a large bowl, then transfer the dough to it. Cover and let stand in a warm place away from drafts for 1 1/2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in bulk.
  • Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a newly floured surface; form into a ball. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Use oil or butter to generously grease a standard-size loaf pan.
  • Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the prepared loaf pan. Cover and let it rest for 30 to 45 minutes, until doubled in bulk.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake the loaf for 35 to 45 minutes (start checking after 35 minutes) or until golden brown; it should sound hollow when tapped.
  • Remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool almost completely before serving.
