Honey Wheat Bread Recipe By Weight

Need a fast whole wheat bread recipe? After my fast bread recipe went viral, I had a ton of requests for a whole wheat version. This is the BEST whole wheat bread I've ever had. So soft, moist and a little bit sweet from the honey.

This honey whole wheat bread recipe is made from just a few simple ingredients. Note that I am using INSTANT yeast which is the secret to making bread in under an hour.

Honey

You can use active dry yeast but it will take MUCH longer to proof your bread. See the notes at the bottom of the recipe card for using active dry yeast instead of instant.

Whole Wheat Bread Nutrition Facts And Health Benefits

Fiber stops your body from processing carbs as quickly so it doesn't spike your blood sugar. Fiber is also good for your digestive system.

To make your whole wheat bread even healthier, you can add in 1 Tablespoon flaxseed meal, 2 Tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds and 2 Tablespoons rolled oats (plus more for topping)

The honey, milk, and butter in this recipe help to keep the whole wheat bread soft. If you want your loaf to be even softer, replace one cup of the wheat flour with all-purpose or bread flour.

Now add in your salt and melted butter. If your dough is not sticking to the bowl from the butter, add in a little more flour. If your dough seems too dry, add in a little water (1-2 tablespoons)

When your dough is ready, it should clean the bowl and bounce back when you poke it with your finger. If it's still soft then keep mixing for another 2-3 minutes.

Place the dough into an oiled bowl in a warm area and let it proof (rise) until it doubles in size (about 30-40 minutes).

Once the dough has doubled in size you can cut it in half and form two loaves by tucking the rough edges underneath. No need for a pan.

Brush the loaves with egg wash (one egg whisked with one tablespoon water). This helps the loaves to brown properly. You can also use milk if you don't want to use eggs.

Make four slices on top of the loaf ¼ deep at a 30º angle with a sharp knife. These slices help the loaf to rise evenly while baking.

Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread straight from the oven, right? This Honey Wheat Bread is a staple at my house! It reminds me of my favorite little shop my mom and I used to go to while growing up- Great Harvest Bread Co. We’d go in to get a few loaves of bread and they would always have warm bread slices to snack on. Their wheat bread was the only wheat bread I liked!

Honey

I love how hearty this bread is, it can handle honey, jam or even soaking up the last bits of gravy. This bread is versatile and delicious!

No special ingredients needed in this recipe! You’ll need: dry active yeast, warm water, honey, melted butter, salt and whole wheat flour.

Honey Whole Wheat Bread Recipe (fast + Easy)

One of the trickiest parts of baking bread to someone who hasn’t ever done so before is working with the yeast. It can be hard to know whether it is alive and kicking or not in some recipes. For this reason I always proof my yeast before mixing it in with my flour and other ingredients.

To do this, you will add your yeast (in this case, 1 pkg or 2 1/4 tsp) in a small amount of warm water (approx 90° if you have an instant read thermometer) with some sugar (or honey!). They yeast will feed on the sugar and will activate. The yeast will become foamy, at this point, you will know your yeast is alive and well!

When kneading the dough, the dough will be slightly sticky. The dough will stick to the bottom of your mixing bowl, but you should be able to pull a small part of the dough off and roll it into a ball without it sticking to your fingers much.

After rising the dough until double (approx 1 hour) punch the dough down and shape into a loaf by rolling into a log and then folding the ends under. Now, slap the loaf while rotating the dough to remove any air bubbles in the dough.

To make the crust absolutely finger-licking good, brush butter onto the crust during the last 5 minutes of baking. Try to let the bread cool for 15 or so minutes before slicing, but I don’t blame you if you can’t wait. 😉

HONEY

Once the bread has cooled completely, I like to store mine in a bread bag. They’re great for keeping bread fresh and for freezing.

Perfect Whole Wheat Bread

You can also slice the bread and then freeze in individual zip top bags. Then you can remove the bread as needed, you can even toast it straight from the freezer for breakfast!

The easiest and best way to avoid sunken bread is to use a cooking thermometer to check the inside of the loaf. Fully cooked bread will register 200°F on a thermometer. My all-time favorite thermometer is the Thermapen. It’s super fast and incredibly durable. Another great cooking thermometer is the ThermoPop which is a more basic version that works just as well!

If you use instant yeast, you can add it directly to your other dry ingredients when making bread. If you use active dry yeast, you’ll need to first dissolve it in warm water before using it in a recipe. I buy my yeast in bulk from Costco and it’s active dry yeast.

The first step of making bread is to bloom the yeast. This simply means activating the yeast by dissolving it in warm water. You want to remember two VERY important things when blooming yeast.

Once you have ensured the right temperature of the water and that your yeast is good, simply sprinkle the yeast and honey over the warm water and give a gentle stir. Set it aside for 5 minutes. During this time, the mixture should get cloudy, with a few bubbles or foam on top of the water. If not, the yeast was bad or the water was too hot or too cold and you need to start over.

You can prepare the bread dough by hand or with a stand mixer. A stand mixer makes quicker work of the process, but there is something so satisfying about kneading the dough by hand as well.
