Whole wheat bread

Is there anything better than a house filled with the smell of freshly baked bread??

Ingredients:

• 1 packet instant yeast
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup AP flour (or white bread flour)
• 1 1/8 cups warm water
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar (or I used golden syrup for an Australian touch)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
  

Method:

• Mix water, yeast and sugar and allow to stand until foamy (5 minutes)
• Mix in all other ingredient (I used a kitchen Aid with a dough hook)
• Need dough for 5-8 minutes (or whenever your arms get too tired!)
• Place dough in an oiled bowl in a warm place for 1 hour
• Punch down dough, knead briefly and place in oiled loaf pan in a warm place for another hour
• Preheat oven to 350F
• Bake bread in loaf pan for 30 minutes
• Allow to cool for 1 hour before slicing (though at our house this turns into 10 minutes before we can't help ourselves)
• Smear liberally with butter :)
