Instructions

  1. 1

    In a stand mixer bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water, honey, and softened butter.

  2. 2

    Mix on low with the dough hook until combined, then knead on medium-low 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. Whole wheat dough needs the full knead to develop structure.

  3. 3

    Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Punch down the dough and shape it into a tight log: flatten into a rectangle, roll up snugly from a short end, and pinch the seam closed. Place seam-side down in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  5. 5

    Cover and let rise until the dough crowns about 1 inch above the rim of the pan, 40 to 50 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.

  6. 6

    Bake 35 to 40 minutes until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F; tent loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.

  7. 7

    Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and cool completely, at least 1 hour, before slicing for clean, even slices.
