Ingredients

2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add vegetable oil, salt, whole wheat flour, and 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the remaining all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky and can be easily handled.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in greased 9x5-inch loaf pans.
Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 1 hour or until it reaches the top of the pans.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pans and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy!
