##
Bread is a staple food in many cultures around the world. It is a versatile food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. However, traditional bread is often made with refined flour and added sugar, which can be unhealthy.
The good news is that there are many ways to make healthy bread at home. In this guide, we will provide you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a delicious and nutritious loaf of bread.
## Ingredients
* 3 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon yeast
* 1 cup warm water
* 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
## Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
3. Add the yeast mixture, honey, and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
8. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
9. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
## Tips
* If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for a few minutes longer.
* If you don't have any parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheet with cooking spray.
* You can add other ingredients to your bread, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
* Be sure to let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
