Ingredients

  • 1 1/8 cups warm water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into mixing bowl and add yeast. Let sit for at least 30 seconds. Add all other ingredients except whole wheat flour. Stir until mixed and begin adding wheat flour until a dough forms and is elastic and not too sticky. Knead (or let your lovely graduation-gift KitchenAid mix it for you) for 10 minutes.
  2. Place dough in a bowl, cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled (usually about an hour). Punch down, knead quickly (just a minute or two), form into a loaf and place it in a greased bread pan.
  3. Set oven to 150 degrees, place bread inside and let rise about 45 minutes (or until it is a size you feel good about).
  4. Increase heat to 350 and cook bread for 30 minutes.
  5. Feel like a domestic goddess all day and remind your spouse frequently how totally fabulous you are for making homemade bread.
