Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 and 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt.
2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the honey and buttermilk until well combined.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the buttermilk mixture into the well.
4. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
7. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
8. Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel again and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 15 minutes of the rising time.
10. Brush the melted butter over the top of the loaf.
11. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
12. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
13. Enjoy the fresh and delicious Buttermilk Whole Wheat Bread!
