Mama's Whole Wheat Bread Recipe (by Peaches and Cream):

1) Make the sponge: mix the following in a large bowl, then cover in plastic, and let rise for 15-20 mins (or until really bubbly):

* 3 cups (390 grams) whole wheat flour
* 1 1/2 Tablespoons yeast
* 3 cups (700 ml) warm water, about 110* Fahrenheit

2) Mix the following into the sponge from step 1:

* 1/2 cup (185 grams) honey [I put 1/4 cup only and still find it sweet]
* 7 Tablespoons (95 grams) oil
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt [put only 1/2 tsp if you are watching your sodium intake]
* 3 cups (390 grams) whole wheat flour

3) You will probably need to mix in another cup (130 grams) or so of whole wheat flour until the dough is of kneadable consistency (i.e. not too sticky and not too dry).

4) Knead the dough for 10-15 mins (with machine, or by hand on a floured counter). Whole wheat bread needs more kneading than white flour to make a soft fluffy dough. Don't add too much flour as you are kneading (to avoid making your dough too dense). Knead until smooth, soft, and elastic.

5) Let dough rest 10 minutes on counter. Meanwhile, grease your baking sheets with cooking spray or oil.

6) Grease countertop, dough, and hands with oil (to prevent sticking), then form the rolls any shape you like (e.g. 13 large rolls, or 20 medium rolls, or make loaves).

7) Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-40 minutes until almost doubled in size.

8) Bake in preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

9) Brush tops with warm butter then serve, or transfer to cooling rack.

Best whole wheat recipe I have come across it's unfortunate that people are missing out on this - every home baker needs to see this video.

I needed to bake whole wheat rolls and I checked on youtube your video drew my attention after watching i prepared and baked mine with your recipee. I just finished and it turned out perfectly right, very soft, very nice. I baked so that my family could have bread for breakfast. The bread aroma filled my house. I ate two big rolls because it's so soft and delicious. I have tried other recipes but they didn't turned quite perfect like yours. Thanks for sharing. I dont think I need to be paying $7:99 for organic bread. I even got greative and added chia, and some other nut yet is was perfect. I can't praising your recipe because it will save money and for the fact it's homemade is what give me the most joy.

Since nobody reviewed this, I'll be the first one to do so: I used a little more flour (metric measures) than the recipe required. Nevertheless they came out fluffy and puffy. Just quite flakey, although I kneaded the dough for 20 minutes, but I think it's the flour I used, which seemed not to be as finely grounded as yours. Also a little bit to sweet for my liking (I used 120g agave), since we Germans enjoy our breads on the savory side. But all in all it is bouncy, soft, fluffy and delicious as a hamburger bun or sloppy joe. If that's what you're looking for, this recipe is perfect.

This is the best whole wheat bread recipe I've ever tried!! i've tried countless other recipes making whole wheat dough, but none of them makes a dough as elastic and smooth as this one. So excited to have this for dinner! Thank you and Mama for sharing this amazing recipe!!!

This is the best tasting bread I've ever had!
The texture is unlike any 100% whole wheat bread I've had. I made dinner rolls and they look exactly like bread made with bread flour.
Thank you very much 💕💕💕💕
I've found the recipe that I will be following for the rest of my life.

My family loves the bread made from your recipe. It's so soft, fluffy and sandwiches are cleared faster than I can make them. Thank you for sharing your mum's recipe.

Hi, I've been trying to make bread as a beginner for a few months now and everytime, it's a little off. This recipe worked wonders for me and the loaf came out perfect and soft. Thank you so much for sharing it 💖

[vandyjul]

Omg this is full proof recipe, things turned out perfect for me even though I am inexperienced bread baker. Thanks to you & your Mama for sharing this perfect recipe.

[francesc]

This is the best recipe I’ve found & I’ve been looking for months. I added 1 cup of honey and it’s not too sweet, just perfect & I can’t stop eating them. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[mcindyfaleafine]

I tried the recipe and it came out so delicious. I only put in 1/4 cup of honey and I used olive oil. It still turned out good. I had my brother taste it and he said it’s really good. Turned out better than what I had expected. Thank you for sharing this recipe with easy to follow instructions.

[babykitti]

I made this recipe today. Instead of honey I used 2tsp row sugar. On top sprinkle poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
Came really good.
Thank you for the recipe.👍👍👍

[SamAmongTheStars]

I don’t usually leave reviews but I love this recipe! The buns are soft, sweet and delicious! Usually when i use whole wheat, the bread comes out very dense but this recipe is different! Thank you!

[heatherhui]

I made this tonight - absolutely DELICIOUS, the best whole wheat bread recipe I've ever made! (I cut the honey in half and used maple syrup because that's what I had.) Thank you so much for sharing!

[SilentReader]

This is the most amazing whole wheat bread recipe. I add seeds to the dough as well and on top. Love it!!!!

What made the difference...
* Using half of the recipe flour to make the sponge with very very warm water.
* Don't let the whole dough rise to punch it down.
