honey wheat sandwich bread recipe

Description
This easy honey wheat sandwich bread recipe fills your home with comforting aromas, offering a wholesome, delicious loaf superior to store-bought options, perfect for family meal prep.
Ingredients
- 340 ml (1.33 cups) warm water
- 7 g (2.25 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 60 ml (0.25 cup) honey
- 45 ml (3 tablespoons) vegetable oil
- 8 g (1.5 teaspoons) fine sea salt
- 250 g (2 cups) whole wheat flour
- 300 g (2.5 cups) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Activate Yeast: Combine 340 ml (1.33 cups) warm water (40-45C / 105-115F) and yeast. Stir gently until foamy, showing active yeast.
- Mix Dough: Add honey, oil, and salt. Gradually mix in both flours until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Knead by hand for 8-10 minutes, or 6-8 with a stand mixer, until the dough feels smooth and elastic. (If dough feels too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time.)
- First Rise: Lightly oil a bowl, place dough inside, and cover. Let rise in a warm spot until it visibly doubles in size (1-1.5 hours).
- Shape Loaf: Gently punch down dough. Roll into a 30 cm x 20 cm (12 x 8 inch) rectangle, then tightly roll into a log. Pinch the seam. Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Second Rise: Transfer dough, seam-side down, into the loaf pan. Cover and let rise until puffy and nearly doubled (30-45 minutes).
- Bake Bread: Preheat oven to 190C (375F). Bake the bread until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped (93-96C / 200-205F internal) (30-35 minutes).
- Cool Loaf: Remove bread from pan immediately. Cool completely on a wire rack for 1-2 hours before slicing, allowing the internal structure to set.
Notes
Always check yeast expiration; use fresh, active yeast for a good rise. The quality of honey significantly impacts flavor. Freshly ground whole wheat flour offers superior taste if available. A stand mixer with a dough hook simplifies kneading. Always preheat your oven fully. If your loaf is dense, check for too much flour, insufficient kneading, or inactive yeast. For no rise, ensure water temperature is correct and proofing spot is warm.
