Honey Wheat Bread Recipe (no yeast needed!)

Lately I have been in a baking mood of sorts! In the past two days I have made some delicious, homemade, from-scratch, vanilla pudding and a nice loaf of honey wheat bread. I think this baking craze came along after seeing a pin on Pinterest (no surprise there- haha!) of a beautiful loaf of bread.

Now, I’ll admit my bread didn’t look like any artisan loaf, but I’d say it was pretty good for my first try. Alright, enough rambling… let’s get to the recipe.

 

Honey Wheat Bread

yields one (1) loaf

Ingredients:

• 3 cups – flour (all-purpose)
• 4 tsp – baking powder
• 1 tsp – salt
• 1 1/2 cups – water
• 1/4 cup – olive oil or vegetable oil
• amount is to your discretion (I didn’t really measure this ingredient) – honey

Directions:

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl
2. Add water
3. Add olive/vegetable oil (try to spread this around the measuring cup so the honey won’t stick to the cup).
4. Add honey.
5. Mix until there is not dry flour left in the dough (it may be sticky- this is okay).
6. Begin to knead bread (it helps to imagine you are a pizza maker 🙂 ). While you do this continue to add more flour, this should help make it not so sticky.
7. Leave in bowl and cover for 1 hour to let rise.
8. Knead some more.
9. Once again, cover bread and let rise for 20 minutes.
10. Bake for 40 minutes at 400°F.
11. Serve (tastes good with apple butter, butter, or extra honey).
