Yields 2. A soft, light sprouted wheat bread with honey
Ingredients
2 1/4cupswarm water
1/4cuphoney
1 1/2tbspyeast
2tspsalt
1/4cupgrape seed oil
3 1/4cupsprouted whole wheat flour
2 1/4cupall purpose or bread flour
Instructions
Combine the water and honey in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let sit for 5-15 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
Add the salt and oil to the bowl liquid and mix lightly.
Add the sprouted wheat flour and stir in until just combined
Add the all purpose flour and either mix until a ball is formed with your hands or use the dough hook of a kitchen aid (or similar) stand mixer to combine and knead the dough.
Turn out dough onto a surface and knead until dough is soft and elastic.
Place in a greased bowl, oil top of dough lightly and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a draft free, warm area to rise. (I have a proof setting on my oven which works wonderfully for this). Let rise until double in size - about 1 hour.
Punch down dough and divide evenly into 2. Shape into loaves and place in greased loaf pans. Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and place in a draft free, warm place until they have doubled in size - about an hour.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
Allow bread to cool 10 minutes in the pans then remove from the pans to a cooling rack. Brush the tops lightly with butter. Allow to cool completely prior to slicing.
