Ingredients

• Sure thing! Here are the necessary ingredients to bake a delicious 100% whole wheat bread:
• **Ingredients:**
• - 3 cups (360g) whole wheat flour
• - 1/4 cup (3 tbsp) honey
• - 2 tsp salt
• - 2 (1/4-oz) packages of active dry yeast
• - 1 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp + (½-1 1/2 tbsp) hot tap water**, divided (120 °F-130°F)**
• >**Hot water Tip:**
• >The ideal temperature for activating the yeast is 120-130 °F. If the water is cooler, the yeast won't activate properly, affecting the bread's rising. Conversely, hotter water will kill the yeast, preventing it from activating at all. Use a cooking thermometer to ensure accurate temperature measurement if necessary.
• >**Important Note:**
• >Adjust ingredient quantities proportionally if altering the recipe yield, ensuring all components maintain their balance for optimal bread.

Steps

1. ## How to Make a Wholesome 100% Whole Wheat Bread at Home ##
3. ### Introduction: Indulge in Wholesome Goodness ###
5. Start off your morning with the enticing aroma of freshly-baked 100% whole wheat bread. Packed with nutritional value and delightful flavors, homemade whole wheat bread can be an irresistible indulgence that caters to a healthier lifestyle. Follow our detailed steps below to bake goodness into your day:
7. **1. Preparation Phase - Gather the Goodness Inside**:
9. - 4 cups 100% whole wheat flour
10. - 2 tsp. active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp/7g)
11. - 2 tsp. brown sugar
12. - 3 tbsp. light olive oil/avocado oil *or* grass-fed organic ghee
13. - 2 ¼ tsp Kosher salt, split to 1 ¾ tsp. and ½ tsp
14. - Honey and butter for brushing/serving (optional)
16. **2. Yeast Awakening Step 1: Nurturing the Rise**:
18. - Heat water (1.3 cups to 115-120˚F) on the stove or microwave.
19. - Whisk the yeast and brown sugar (as food) into warm water in a large vessel.
20. - Leave to 'Bloom': 5-10 minutes should suffice to activate yeast (observe frothy/bubbly formation on the surface).
22. **3. Yeast Awakening Step 2: Flour Meets Hydration**:
24. - Mix 1 ¾ tsp. salt & whole wheat flour in a large mixing bowl to combine evenly.
25. - Create a well at the center to receive your bubbly yeast water: Carefully add & blend it while gradually mixing wet with dry ingredients –– create something akin to rough pizza dough! Use warm tap water if dough feels dry.
27. **4. Kneading Time - Bonding with Dough Magic**:
29. - On a lightly floured surface, transfer yeast dough for good quality kneading: kneading for eight minutes helps create elasticity, allowing bread to retain shape. (A dough mixer makes life easier!) Don't worry about it becoming sticky!
30. - As dough begins to 'pull away' from itself and surfaces and feels softer in hand, you'll know you've found 'dough bliss.' A slight stickiness to touch is fine for whole wheat dough. Place an upside-down bowl atop the dough ball while prepping your bowl.
32. **5. First Rise - Time to Expand and Nourish**:
34. - Lightly grease the mixing bowl: Place dough to enjoy a well-deserved slumber – about 2 hours and at ideal room temperature is perfect to grow!
35. - Cover well using another larger bowl/towel/shower cap for a cozy experience: dough rise time equals double to triple it's original glory -- watch and marvel at baking magic. Remember – a warmer spot = even quicker rising
37. **6. Rise Halted in Action**:
39. - Once doubled or tripled, punch down on your dough – a way to say, "'Rise no further!"
40. - Shape your dough to preference to fit bread tin/ loaf pan/cast iron Dutch oven/bread molds.
42. **7. Rise Round II - Time to Perfect**:
44. - Allow another doughy hibernation with an hour this time – again doubling its current shape
45. - This time we cover in warm (slightly damp with water) kitchen towel for ultimate tender perfection: remember to cover loaf tin too when placed inside
46. - Prepping Oven – While Second Rise Transforms: Fire up your Oven at 400 ˚f
48. **8. Into the Fire – Oven Unveils Magic**:
50. - Prepare to bake: If using loaf pan/tin – no further preparations required
51. - Dutch Oven Method requires careful Dutch oven prep – parchment paper is your companion;
52. Preheat it alongside oven
54. **9. Bake – The Heart of Transformation**:
56. - Baking Time will vary:
57. * Dutch Oven Bake - Bake it covered for 30 mins initially then uncovered for another 7-12 mins - golden crust is our target! Oven temperatures often vary
58. * Loaf Pan/Bread Tin – 35 to 40 min, and the bread should resonate "hollowness" when the bottom is tapped - it denotes your perfect loaf.
60. **10. Final Rise - Rest to Shine**:
62. - Out of the oven, it requires another small rising – allow to sit and cool – preferably on wire rack so base retains the crunch
63. - Slice when warm for that fresh bread joy with a dollop of butter & sweet drizzle of honey
65. **The wholesome taste of 100% whole wheat bread awaits! Remember baking times may vary; oven temperaments matter.**
66. _Indulge, enjoy, and spread goodness far and wide._
