In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the warm water, honey (if using), and olive oil (if using) to the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until all the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky, but that's normal.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 2-3 hours, allowing it to rise and double in size.
After the initial rise, transfer the dough to an airtight container or leave it in the bowl (covered) and refrigerate it for up to 7 days. This step allows the dough to develop more flavor over time.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a baking stone, pizza stone, or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Take a portion of the dough (about the size of a grapefruit or 450 grams) and shape it into a round loaf. Dust your hands and surface with a bit of flour to prevent sticking.
Let the shaped dough rest on a piece of parchment paper or a floured surface for 30 minutes to an hour for a short rise.
Using a sharp knife or razor blade, score the top of the loaf with a few shallow cuts. This helps the bread expand while baking.
Carefully transfer the dough (with the parchment paper if using) onto the preheated baking stone or baking sheet. For a crusty exterior, place a shallow pan with water at the bottom of the oven to create steam.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your freshly baked healthy bread!
