Honey Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe

Enjoy a loaf of fresh baked bread straight out of your oven when you bake this easy Honey Wheat Sandwich Bread Recipe!

Prep Time15 mins

Cook Time30 mins

Xtra Time for Resting & Rising2 hrs 40 mins

Total Time3 hrs 25 mins

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. Honey
• 2 3/4 tsp. Active Dry Yeast
• 1 cup Warm Water {approx. 100 degrees}
• 1 cup Wheat Flour
• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 3 tbsp. Butter {room temperature}
• 1 1/4 tsp. Salt
• Optional 1 tsp. Melted Butter {for brushing on top of baked loaf}

Instructions

• In small mixing bowl, whisk together Honey, Active Dry Yeast, and Warm Water, then allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Then transfer mixture into your stand mixture, affixed with a dough hook.
• Carefully measure your Flour by spooning into a measuring cup, and leveling off with a knife. {The correct amount of flour will make all of the difference.}
• To the stand mixer, add 1 cup Wheat Flour, Butter, and Salt, and mix on level 2. Then add remaining 2 cups of All Purpose Flour {1 cup at a time} as you continue mixing.
• Once dough turns into a ball and attaches to the dough hook, continue to mix for 3 more minutes.
• Then spray inside of large mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray, transfer dough ball to that bowl, cover with a clean thin kitchen towel, and let it rise on the counter for 1 1/2 hours – 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
• After dough has risen, grease 9×5 or 10×6 loaf pan, and set aside.
• Lightly punch dough down to release some air, and carefully remove dough from bowl using a small plastic dough scraper or rubber spatula.
• Then using your hands… carefully roll, press, and shape dough into an oval without folding {this will minimize large air pockets inside the loaf of bread}.
• Transfer dough to greased loaf pan {placing it in the pan seam side, or crinkled side, down}, cover again with kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 more hour on your countertop.
• After dough has risen to about 1″ above the rim of the pan, bake on lower oven rack at 350 degrees for 28 – 35 minutes, or until top is golden brown and bread is baked through.
• Optional: after baking, when you remove bread from oven, you can brush the top of the loaf with a little melted butter.
• Allow bread to cool in pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, then remove bread from pan and allow to finish cooling on rack before slicing. Then serve with your favorite sandwich fixings. YUM!
• Store leftover completely cooled bread in an old bread bag with twisty tie on the counter up to 2 days, in the refrigerator up to 5 days, or freeze up to 1 month.
