Honey wheat bread

1 1/4 cups warm water
2 Tbsp honey
2 tsp yeast
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

  3. Gradually add all purpose flour until mixture can’t be stirred.
  4. Turn dough out on floured surface, and gradually knead in flour until dough is soft. (This may require 2-3 cups of all purpose flour in total.)

  6. Punch down, and shape into a log, placing in a greased bread pan. Let rise 45 minutes.
