Time 3h35m

Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons honey
1 3/4 cups warm water (110 degrees)
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 pound, 6 ounces (about 4 1/2 cups) freshly milled whole-wheat bread flour, such as Hayden Flour Mills Hard Red Spring, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for bowl and pan

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water, then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides of dough to meet in middle, slightly overlapping. Press seam to seal. Place dough, seam-side down, in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until dough is about 3/4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely. Bread can be stored, tightly wrapped, at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast should be proofed in warm water with sugar before being added to the dough.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Freshly ground whole wheat flour, pure honey, and unsalted butter will give your bread the best flavor and texture.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives bread its structure and elasticity. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-80°F (24-27°C). If your kitchen is too cool, you can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the bread. This will help the bread rise evenly and develop a crispy crust.
