Category: Bread
Country:
Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl. Add honey, white flour and 2 cups of the wholewheat flour.Beat vigourously with a spoon to form a smooth batter. Cover and set aside to rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.
Stir in the oil and the salt then fold in about 31/2 cups wholewheat flour, 1/2 cup at a time, turning the bowl a quarter of a turn between folds. When the dough is too thick to add any more flour turn onto a floured work surface and knead for 5-8 minutes, adding only enough flour to make a smooth elastic dough.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn it over so that the top is coated with oil. Cover and rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and leave for a further 35 mins or so to rise again.
Shape the dough into 2 loaves and let them rise in the oiled pans for a further 30 minutes until doublked in size.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Brush the tops of the loaves with the eggwash. Bake for about 1 hour or until browned. Remove from oven and turn onto rack to cool.
