Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 cups whole wheat flour

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons instant yeast

1 ½ teaspoons salt

3 ½ cups warm water (110 to 120 degrees F)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, instant yeast, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Whisk together water and oil in a cup; pour into flour mixture. Mix on low speed until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl into a ball.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead just until dough is smooth, about 1 minute. Divide and shape dough into 3 balls for small loaves or 2 balls for larger loaves. Dust loaves with flour and place onto a baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slash an "X" about 1/4-inch deep in tops of loaves with a sharp knife.

Bake in the preheated oven until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven; transfer loaves to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook’s Note

For extra depth, substitute 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of quick oats.

The number of servings is dependent upon the thickness of the slices. I recommend making three loaves the first time.
