Wheat Bread Recipe Without Honey

You know, I always wanted to be the kind of person who makes their own hummus and bakes their own whole wheat bread. So I’m pretty chuffed that I have become this person!

So now I can feel all wholesome and earth-motherish. Well, at least I would if I had some kiddos other than my two cat babies.

And ‘eating clean’ is quite the popular phrase in diet culture. But depending on which diet camp you’ve found yourself, ‘clean’ can have vastly different meanings. Like for some it means eating plenty of meat but cutting out grains and processed foods. And of course that is not at all what it means in the vegan community.

But anyway, I am not a fan of labelling foods like this because it’s a value judgement, like ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Which some can take to extremes and it can lead to eating disorders (not good).

But that being said, lately it can be hard to find a loaf of bread in the store that doesn’t have a heap of junk in it. There is one particular loaf of wholewheat bread that I bought, and we just didn’t get around to eating it (or throwing it out).

However, it was just as perfectly fresh 3 weeks after purchase as it was on the day I brought it home from the store. Hmmm.

So I do like to make some whole wheat bread myself, and when it’s as easy as THIS, then there’s no reason not to! Also check out our other super easy bread recipes, our vegan white bread, vegan soda bread and vegan focaccia.

You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

I have literally never come across a recipe as easy as this. It’s just 5-ingredients, and you don’t even have to knead it.

Honey Wheat Bread (old Fashioned Recipe)

In fact, kneading is out with this recipe. You just throw some whole wheat flour, instant yeast and a little salt to a mixing bowl.

Mix in to just combine (no kneading! I’m not going to tell you again you super-keen kneading fan), move it into a greased loaf pan (a little parchment paper on the bottom is also a good idea), cover it and leave it to rise for 20 minutes.

It does all its rising before it even hits the oven. So the height it is when it goes in is pretty much the height it is when it comes out.

I mean really I don’t think it could be easier even if you used a bread machine. Well, I’ve never used a bread machine so I can’t really compare, but with a recipe as easy as this, who needs a bread machine?

And the BEST thing about baking your own whole wheat bread is your whole house smells delicious and you get to eat it warm from the oven.

I mean really if you don’t feel like cooking, just make a loaf of this (it barely counts as ‘cooking’ it’s too easy), and serve it with a huge salad, maybe some roasted garlic hummus and avocado and various other toppings and dinner is done and dusted!

Of course it goes immensely well with any homemade soups too! So if you’re having a delicious vegan potato leek soup or vegan tomato soup or vegan lentil soup for dinner, then this is going to be awesome for dipping.

This recipe is very versatile and has worked great when we’ve switched up the flours. We have tried this recipe as follows and all have worked out great:

It even works with a gluten-free all purpose flour blend. I find that adding a tablespoon or two of olive oil (at the same time as the other wet ingredients) makes the gluten-free version come out softer.

It’s best when very fresh (the day of making it) but it will keep for a couple of days in a closed container and it also makes very delicious toast!

You can freeze it, and that’s best done on the day of baking to lock in the freshness. If you freeze it on the second or third day then you can use it for toast straight from the freezer.

There’s something truly magical about the process of making the dough, watching it rise and ferment, then shaping it into a lovely round loaf and watching it bake up to golden-brown perfection. There is something so satisfying about knowing how to take just water, flour, and yeast, and turn it into a full-blown gorgeous loaf of aromatic yeasty bread.

This no-knead Whole Wheat Bread Recipe is one of my absolute favorites. Having this crusty bakery-style whole wheat loaf in your repertoire is a must. Get ready to be seriously proud of yourself!

But first, I want you to check out my 7 Common Breadmaking Mistakes You’re Probably Making before making bread as it covers from beginning to baking essential tips for bread making at home.

Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread

Artisanal whole wheat bread refers to a type of bread that is handmade using traditional, artisanal techniques and is made predominantly from whole wheat flour.

The term “artisanal” implies that the bread is crafted by bakers who often use traditional methods, high-quality ingredients, and take great care in the preparation process.

I know it sounds impossible to make bread without kneading the dough, but this whole wheat bread recipe is here to show you how and why it works.

Ingredient

Homemade Whole Wheat Bread

While normal bread dough needs to be kneaded to develop the gluten in the bread, this dough does it on its own. The secret ingredient to my no-knead bread is… time. About 24 hours is what allows this dough to develop without any of my help. Over that period the dough is fermenting, it’s no only developing flavor but it’s building its own gluten content and filling up with air that’s released in the process. The result is a light and fluffy interior filled with tiny air bubbles and a thick crunchy crust.

I know it sounds crazy, but just trust me: all you have to do with this bread is set it and forget it — no babysitting “kneaded” (get it 😉 ).

Dry active yeast is the most commonly available form of yeast for home bakers and is available in ¼-oz packets at most local grocery stores. The yeast is dormant, needs to be “proofed” and re-hydrated.

It gets activated during the fermentation process by combining the water and honey. From there it creates a lovely almost beer-like flavor and smell. Dry yeast should be stored in a cool dry place. I keep mine in a container in the refrigerator.

Whole wheat and whole grain bread is a preferred option for diabetics. Whole wheat is a more complex carbohydrate and has the added fiber content I mentioned earlier, making it something that really everyone can enjoy both making and eating! So give this Whole Wheat Bread Recipe a go — but, as always, when it comes to health the best bet is to contact your doctor.

Yes, you absolutely can bake it in a Dutch oven. That will give you a lovely texture and finish to your crust. I put it in at 450°F (225°C), then immediately turn it down to 400°F (200°F) and bake for 30 minutes with the lid on. Then remove the lid and bake for the remaining time. Works beautifully every time.

Yes, you can bake this bread in a 9*5-inch loaf pan. Bake at 450°F(225°c) a hot oven to give it a spring, then after 10 minutes or so reduce the temperature to 400°F(200°C), without opening the oven, for the remainder of
