Quite Possibly the Best Bread Everrrrrr...

     This is seriously the best English Muffin Bread that I have ever had. It isn't quite as nook and cranny-ish because of the whole wheat flour, but it still has the right texture and flavor. Sliced with some butter or jam is delish, but toast up a slice and slather on some butter and ohhh Lord will the Heavens sing.

     Not only is this the best English Muffin Bread I have had, but it is without a doubt the easiest loaf of bread I have ever made. And there have been many a loaf made with these two not so little hands. No kneading, either. Guess I'll have to get my arm workout somewhere else.
Whole Wheat English Muffin Bread, Whole Wheat Bread, Best Bread ever

You Will Need:
  • 2 and 2/3 cups of warm water
  • 3 and 1/2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/2 cups flour (white)
DIRECTIONS:
  1. In a large plastic or glass bowl, add the warm water, yeast and honey. Give it a good stir and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until nice a foamy.
  2. Add your flours and the salt and mix very well. This dough is going to be super sticky, so don't worry when it doesn't come together like regular old bread dough.
  3. Cover with a warm damp towel and let rise til it reaches the top of the bowl. (This took about 40 to 45 minutes for me.)
  4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough evenly between 2 loaf pans that have been sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Cover again and let rise until the dough reaches the top of the pans. (For me, this took 30 minutes.)
  5. Pop the pans into your preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Mine took exactly 35 minutes. :) READ: 5 to 10 minutes before the bake time is up, brush the top of each loaf with a bit of melted butter and pop back into the oven to finish baking.
  6. By now, the smell should be driving you crazy! When it is nice and golden in color, it is done. Remove from the oven and cool in pan on wire racks.
  7. When cool, slice that bad boy up and slather on some butter or jam and get ready to moan in delight! Mmmmm yesssss. ;)
