Honey Wheat Sourdough Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sourdough starter
  • 2 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110-120°)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups ground whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda mixed with 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2-3 cups bread flour

Instructions

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water; add 1 tsp sugar until frothy.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hooks, combine starter, yeast mixture, oil, honey, eggs and 2 cups wheat flour. Mix well.
  • Add baking soda mixed with flour and salt. Mix well.
  • Add bread flour, one cup at a time.
  • Using the stand mixer, knead with dough hooks for 10 minutes.
  • Grease a large bowl and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm place to rise until double in size, about an hour.
  • Shape dough into two loaves and place them in two greased bread pans. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for another 20-30 minutes.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.
  • For a soft crust, brush the top of the loaves with butter while they are still warm. Allow the bread to cool and slice to serve.
  • Store any remaining bread in an airtight container.
