Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, honey, salt, and ground cinnamon.

  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  5. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased loaf pan.
  6. Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top with honey while it's still warm.
  10. Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
