Sweet Wheat Bread

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the warm water, milk, brown sugar, honey, and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky. (8 minutes)

Recipe View Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a clean bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat all sides with the oil. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Recipe View Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Knead it gently 4-5 times. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a loaf. Place the loaves into greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the loaf pans with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise again until it is about 1 inch above the top of the pan, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. (25 minutes)

Recipe View Let the bread cool slightly in the pans before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. (15 minutes)
