ABOUT Simple, Soft, and Easy Honey Buttermilk Bread Recipe RECIPE

This Honey buttermilk bread recipe with 50% whole wheat is slightly different from my other bread recipes thus far. For the first time my whole wheat bread didn’t have that prominent flavor and smell of wheat. Honey in the recipe gave it a shiny and glowing golden crust. This homemade buttermilk whole wheat bread with honey beats the softness of a commercial bread. I baked a 9 inches loaf and half of the loaf vanished in an hour. Baking soda and buttermilk is a combination that I have used for the very first time in this bread.

Ingredients Serving: 8

Wholewheat Flour 200 gm
All purpose flour 200 gm
Active Dry Yeast 1 tsp
Honey 2 tbs+1 tsp
Salt 1 tsp
Lukewarm water 50 ml
Oil 2 tbs
Baking soda 1/2 tsp
Buttermilk 200 ml
Milk for milk-wash 1 tbs

Instructions

In a bowl dissolve 1 tsp of honey and yeast into lukewarm water. Keep is aside until it froths.
In another mixing bowl, take lukewarm butter milk, 2 tbs of honey, baking soda, salt and activated yeast solution. Mix everything well.
Start adding flour to the prepared solution.
Start kneading the dough and knead it for about 10 minutes.
Shape it into a boule and place it into a greased bowl. Let the dough rest until it doubles in volume.
Once dough doubles in volume, punch it to release the air. Roll it into a rectangular shape and shape it into a log shape.
Place the prepared log into a greased loaf tin with seam side facing down.
Brush the bread dough with milk and keep it for second rise.
Meanwhile preheat the oven at 200 degree Celsius.
Once dough doubles in volume, remove the cling wrap and bake it in preheated oven for about 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, take out the baked bread loaf from the oven, de-mould it and brush it with butter/oil.
Let the bread rest on a wire rack at least for 2 hrs before you slice it.
