Preparation
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and brown sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt until well combined.
Dough Formation
3. Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Rising
5. First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Baking
6. Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7. Second Rise
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes until it has doubled in size.
8. Preheat Oven
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake the Bread
Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
