Whole Wheat Country Loaf
This warm and hearty bread packs a bunch of earthy flavors- perfect for stews, soups, and open-faced sandwiches!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1 1/2 cup Warm Water 100-110℉
- 1/3 cup Canola Oil
- 1 Egg
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the yeast and sugar to your warm water, stir, and then let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- While your yeast is activating, mix the All Purpose Flour and Whole Wheat Flour together.
- Add oil, egg, salt, and enough mixed flour to form a soft dough and let rest for 5 minutes on the counter.
- Knead for 5 minutes, adding any leftover flour to the dough if needed. Once properly kneaded, form the dough into a ball and spray with oil, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to rest in a warm place until it's doubled in size (about an hour depending on your home temperature).
- Punch the dough and knead for a minute, then shape into a loaf and score. Then allow your loaf to rest while preheating the oven to 425° for 10 minutes.
- Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, then cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Once the internal temperature of the loaf is 200°, remove the bread from the oven and let cool.
