Easy Honey Whole Wheat Bread (for the Bosch)

Megan8328 views

Fresh-baked homemade bread envelops all the comfort and warmth of home. Once I got myself a Bosch mixer (aff. link) this comfort food was featured more regularly at our dinner table, and our whole family is so glad! My favorite Fall and Winter meal is a bowl of hot soup with this bread– fresh out of the oven. YUM!!!

This recipe is simple and fail-proof. Not only does it taste delicious, but it is 100% whole wheat, and made with all whole ingredients. I hope you and your dinner guest love this as much as the Andersen family does. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Warm Water 80 degrees
  • 1 Tablespoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 8 Cups Whole Wheat Flour divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. This will warm the kitchen and help the yeast activate. In the bowl of the Bosch mixer, combine water and yeast. Let it sit a minute until the yeast begins to bubble.
  • Add salt, oil, and honey and mix on the lowest speed until the honey dissolves. On low speed, gradually add 5 cups flour and mix until all the flour is incorporated. Slowly add 1/2 cup increments of additional flour until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. (See notes for pictures.)
  • Mix on medium speed for 6 minutes. While you wait, generously grease two, 9 x 5 x 3 inch bread pans. Once finished, rub a bit of cooking spray on your palms and fingers and pull half of the dough out of the mixer. Form into an oval-shaped loaf and place into the bread pans.
  • Set the bread pans in the warmest corner of your kitchen (I put mine on the counter top right next to the stove), and cover with a clean, dry cloth. It will take about 10 minutes for the dough to rise to the top of the bread pans.
  • Place the pans on the same rack inside your oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are a dark, golden brown. Let the loaves cool in the pans for a couple minutes before removing onto a cooling rack for another 5 minutes. Slice with a serrated bread knife and serve warm with butter and honey.

Notes

Notice how the dough is still sticking to the inside in a ring around the bowl. Slowly add more flour until it “cleans” the inside of the bowl, like this:
See how clean the sides of the bowl are? Now you are ready to put the lid on and mix for 6 minutes at medium speed.
