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.
Milk & Honey Whole Wheat Bread
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.
If you happen to have a bread machine that can accommodate loaves up to 2 pounds, which is standard, it could not be easier to make this honey wheat bread.

Because there are no preservatives in this whole wheat bread, it will not last as long as store-bought bread. If you do not plan to consume the bread within 5 days, it is best to prepare two 1-pound loaves and freeze one loaf for future use.
Allow the bread to cool fully before storing it in an airtight sealed container. Be sure the bread is fully cooled, or moisture will form in the container, causing the bread to mold quickly. Store the bread in a cool pantry for 4-5 days, in a sealed container. If it is humid or warmer outside, I recommend storing wheat bread in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To freeze homemade bread, allow the bread to cool fully and then wrap the loaf of bread in a layer of plastic wrap, followed by foil. Place the wrapped bread into a freezer-safe bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and use it within 5 days.

The amount of flour needed to make whole wheat bread will vary based on how you measure the flour and the humidity in your house. Plan on using between 3 ¾ to 4 ½ cups of flour when making wheat bread. Start by using 3 ¾ cups of flour, but if your dough is still sticky, add in additional flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the bowl and is not sticky to the touch.
If you have a kitchen scale, now is the time to use it. This recipe typically needs between 510 to 576 grams of whole wheat flour. If you don't have a kitchen scale, the best way to measure out the flour is to spoon it into the measuring cup versus scooping directly from the bag or container.
Yes! I freshly grind red or white wheat berries using a flour mill every time I make homemade wheat bread. You will need to grind 3 cups of wheat berries or 576 grams, to equal 4 ½ cups of flour.
Honey Wheat Bread
Yes! This recipe for wheat bread is already dairy-free and egg-free, but in order to be considered vegan-friendly, you would need to replace the honey with pure maple syrup. It will not have a honey flavor, but Maple Wheat Bread is pretty spectacular.
If you are making bread in the oven, you can tell when the bread is cooked fully when the crust is golden brown and when you tap on the bottom of the bread loaf it sounds hollow. A surefire way to tell if your loaf of bread is cooked is to insert an instant-read thermometer in the center of the loaf. Bread is finished cooking when it reaches a temperature of 190 degrees.
It is REALLY important that you allow the bread to completely cool before trying to slice, or it will fall apart easily. Once cooled, use a serrated knife to cut into ½-inch slices.

Before food blogs were popular, I visited food blog forums- places on the internet where you can discuss recipes and food. It’s where I became “, ” really… since that just happened to be the name I chose for my identity on those forums. I learned so much from people in those forums- home cooks, emerging bloggers and cookbook authors too. If you posed a question on those forums, members would openly share feedback, give recommendations and share their great grandmother’s secret recipes. It was a fun place to be.
Sadly, the forums no longer exist. The bread I’m sharing today is a recipe that a gentleman named “Pete” on Cooking.com’s forum gave me many years ago. Pete gave me permission to share the recipe he had been using for 40+ years!We lost Pete a few years ago, but I’m happy to let his famous bread recipe live on! I’ve been using this recipe since he gave it to me, and it’s now my go-to, homemade Honey Whole Wheat Bread.
