Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water about 110°F / 45°C
- 1 teaspoon olive oil optional
Instructions
Activate Yeast
- Mix warm water and yeast in a bowl. Let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy and bubbly.
Combine Flours and Salt
- In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt evenly.
Add Water and Yeast
- Pour the yeast mixture into the flour. Stir until dough starts to form a sticky ball.
Knead the Dough
- Turn dough onto a floured surface. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise for 1 hour.
Shape the Bread
- Punch down dough and shape into a round or oval loaf. Place on a baking sheet.
Second Rise
- Cover dough with a towel again. Let rise 20–30 minutes until slightly puffed.
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) while dough rises.
Bake the Bread
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Tap the bottom; it should sound hollow.
Cool and Serve

Notes
