Wheat Toast Recipe

Bread Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Activate the Yeast

   In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F) and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. 2

   Mix the Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

3. 3

   Combine All Ingredients

   Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

4. 4

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   First Rise

   Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

6. 6

   Shape the Loaf

   Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

7. 7

   Second Rise

   Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise again for about 30 minutes until it puffs up.

8. 8

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the loaf is rising.

9. 9

   Bake the Bread

   Once the bread has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

10. 10

    Cool and Slice

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
