easy whole wheat bread











I was looking for a whole wheat bread recipe without sugar or fat.  This bread is terrific and SOOOO quick and easy to make.  Delicious bread in under 2 hours.  Did I mention it has only 4 ingredients?

easy whole wheat bread (spartanlifeblog.com)
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, or 1 packet
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I thought this was too much!)
2 cups warm water
optional:  rolled oats to sprinkle on top before baking

In a large bowl mix together the flour, yeast and salt.  Then pour in the warm water and knead with your hands until a dough forms (the dough will be sticky and that's ok).
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a draft free place for 1 hour.
After I hour preheat your oven to 400 F and line a round baking dish with parchment paper.
Transfer the dough to the round baking dish.  Shake the dish so the dough settles into the space of the dish evenly, or pat it gently with your hands to fill it.
Let the dough rest another 30 minutes.
Score the dough with a knife (criss-cross shape in the center) and sprinkle it with oatmeal (I rubbed my bread with a little olive oil first).
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is a deep golden brown.
