Cooking time

Ingredients
2 Servings
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 60 ml honey
- 30 ml olive oil
- 10 grams salt
- 360 ml warm water
- 480 grams whole wheat flour
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve the honey in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until yeast resembles a creamy foam.
Step 2
Mix in the whole wheat flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Step 3
Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Punch down the dough. Knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves, and place into two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until dough has risen 1 inch above pans.
Step 5
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
