How to make honey whole wheat bread

  • Sprinkle yeast over lukewarm water to soften. In a large bowl, combine hot water with honey, shortening and salt.
  • Stir mixture until honey and shortening are melted. Let cool to lukewarm.
  • Add yeast. Sift in 1 1/2 cups of the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the sifted white flour and beat mixture until well combined.
  • Add 1 cup each of white flour and whole wheat flour or enough to make a moderately stiff dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a well-floured board and knead for about 10 minutes or until very smooth and elastic.
  • Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl, turn once and let stand, covered, in a warm place away from drafts for about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
  • Punch dough down, turn out onto a floured board, and form into a ball. Let dough stand covered for 10 minutes.
  • Shape dough into a loaf and put into a well-greased loaf pan. Let dough stand, covered, until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Bake loaf at 375 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Turn loaf out onto a wire rack. Let it cool.
