Ingredients

Dough

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour (Hearty texture and fiber content)
  • 2 tbsp honey (Adds subtle sweetness, helps yeast activate)
  • 1 pkt active dry yeast (2¼ tsp, makes the dough rise and creates fluffy texture)
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F (not too hot, not too cold))
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (Adds softness and moisture)
  • 1 tsp salt (Enhances flavor and controls yeast activity)
  • 2 tbsp vital wheat gluten (Optional, for a lighter, airier texture)

Instructions 

  • Activate yeast in warm water with honey until frothy.
  • Mix in flour, salt, vital wheat gluten, and olive oil to form dough.
  • Knead until elastic, then let rise until doubled in size.
  • Shape into a loaf, let rise again, then bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden.
  • Cool on a rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure water is at the right temperature and do not over-knead the dough.
