  • 7/8 cup water , lukewarm
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 2/3 cups whole wheat flour

Directions:

  1. Measure water into mixing bowl and add yeast, stirring until the yeast dissolves. Sir in the honey, oil and salt.
  2. Add flour a little at a time, unsifted. If the flour does not completely dampen, add a tablespoon or more water.

  7. Tuna fish can (3.5 inches) a host for 50.
  8. Press a line across the dough with the blade of a knife vertically and horizontally. This makes a cross and divides the loaf into quarters.
  9. Transfer to a very lightly oiled (or silpat covered) baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  11. The loaves may be sealed in plastic bags, after cooling, and frozen for future use.
