Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Warm water
  • 2 tablespoons Agave syrup or Maple syrup or any liquid sweetener of choice
  • Active dry yeast 1 ½ teaspoons
  • Whole wheat flour 3 ½ cups
  • Rock salt 1 ¼ teaspoon

Method

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water and liquid sweetener.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and allow it to sit for 10 minutes until the yeast starts to activate and become foamy.
  • Add in the salt to the whole wheat flour and mix everything together with the activated yeast until a sticky dough forms. Mix the dough vigorously for a minute. Cover the dough and let it sit in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours or until it doubles in size.
  • Cut out some parchment paper to line your bread loaf pan and keep aside.
  • Take out the dough and gently punch it a few times to deflate it and then place it in a bread pan. Spread the dough evenly in the pan.
  • Let the dough rise for about 40 minutes or until almost the size you need your bread to be.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to finish cooling. Slice and enjoy.
