Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • Whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Warm the Milk

  • Gently warm the milk until lukewarm (105-115°F). Do not boil.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, warmed milk, oil, and optional melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will be slightly wet and sticky, resembling cake batter.

First Rise

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Shape and Second Rise

  • Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Gently transfer the dough into the prepared pan. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat Oven and Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover it with foil for the last 15 minutes of baking.

Cool and Enjoy

  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Whole Wheat Milk Bread

  • For a richer flavor, use milk that has a higher fat content.
  • Make sure your yeast is fresh; this will significantly impact the bread's rise. If using active dry yeast, ensure the water you bloom it in is the appropriate temperature (105-115°F).
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing develops the gluten too much and results in a tough loaf.
  • For a softer crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter after baking.
