Ingredients
Scale

- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm water and honey in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour and salt.
- Pour the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, place it in a greased loaf pan, and let rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
