Honey wheat bread
Instructions :
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, warm water, and honey. Sprinkle the yeast over top the liquids and let it sit for 5 minutes until it gets foamy.
- Add the whole wheat flour and mix it into the liquids using the beater blade attachment just until the flour is moistened. Let that mixture sit for 10 minutes.
- Next, add in the salt, butter, and the bread flour. Using the stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, beat the dough for 10 minutes. (If you don't have a stand mixer you can knead the dough by hand.)
- Grease a large bowl and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the dough with a cloth and place the bowl in a warm place for the dough to rise. Allow the dough to rise until it is double in size.
- Shape dough into two loaves and place them in greased 8x4" bread pans. Cover the dough and let them rise in a warm place for another 20 minutes or until they have a nice rise to them.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
- For the softest crust, brush the top of the loaves with butter while they are still warm.
- Allow the bread to cool and slice to serve.
- Store any extra bread in an airtight container.
