Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
- Combine lukewarm water, milk, and honey in a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt. Add this mixture to the yeast mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.

- Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
