Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
Soft and delicious, this 100% whole wheat sandwich bread tastes so great even your kids will love it! Soft, tender, and full of flavor, you'll never need to buy a loaf of sandwich bread again!
Ingredients
- 258 grams warm water 1 cup
- 7 grams yeast 1 3/4 tsp
- 32 grams honey 1 1/2 Tbsp
- 400 grams whole wheat flour 3 1/4 cups
- 11 grams sea salt 2 tsp
- 46 grams butter, cut into pieces 3 Tbsp
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, weigh out the water, yeast, honey and give it a quick mix with a spoon.
- Weigh in flour and salt. Using a dough hook, mix until shaggy (about 1 minute). Scrape the sides of the bowl if there is still loose flour.
- Add in the butter, and increase the mixer speed to 3 or 4 for 5 minutes, until no more butter pieces remain, and the dough is no longer sticking to the side of the bowl. It should be smooth and shiny.
- Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Butter, oil, or spray a sandwich loaf pan and set aside.
- Once your dough has doubled, dump the dough onto a clean surface and flatten it with your hands. Roll the dough into a log and pinch the seem. Fold the ends under and pinch to seal. Roll the dough back and forth to seal the seams.
- Place the dough into the loaf pan, seam side down, spray/grease your plastic wrap and cover again to let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Take the plastic off, and bake for approximately 20 until golden brown. Place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the bread and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes (I found 5 to be perfect in my oven). Remove from oven but leave the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Gently ease the bread out of the pan and cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
