Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is about 20 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is about 1 hour.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • Stand mixer with dough hook attachment (optional)
  • Bread loaf pan

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, molasses, honey, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
  4. If using a stand mixer, knead the dough with the dough hook attachment for about 5 minutes. If kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for a few minutes to release any air bubbles.
  7. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased bread loaf pan.
  8. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  10. Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This bread is best served warm, with a pat of butter. It also makes great toast the next day.
