Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 1/3 cup warm whole milk (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons active dry or instant yeast
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 and 1/3 cups additional whole wheat flour
  • 1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together warm water, warm milk, and yeast. Stir in the first portion of whole wheat flour until a thick batter forms. Cover and let rise at room temperature for about 60–90 minutes until doubled.
  2. Add honey, softened butter, lemon juice, salt, and remaining flour to the dough. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
  4. Place in a greased bowl to rise again until doubled in size (about 1.5–2 hours).
  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf; place it in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Let rise again until it’s about an inch above the pan (45–60 minutes).
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Bake for approximately 36–40 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool slightly before slicing.
