Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F)
- 0 Extra flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast until well combined.
Step 2
Add the honey and warm water to the dry ingredients. Use a sturdy wooden spoon or spatula to mix until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky, which is normal.
Step 3
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours, until it doubles in size and has a bubbly surface.
Step 4
After the first rise, lightly flour your countertop and your hands. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and shape it into a ball by folding the edges toward the center. Be gentle to preserve the air bubbles in the dough.
Step 5
Place the dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover it loosely with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 6
While the dough is resting, place a large Dutch oven with its lid into the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Let the Dutch oven heat for at least 30 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully remove the hot Dutch oven from the oven using oven mitts. Lower the dough (still on the parchment paper) into the Dutch oven. The parchment paper will help prevent sticking.
Step 8
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 9
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the top of the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This allows the interior to set properly.
Step 11
Slice and enjoy!
