This honey whole wheat bread recipe is literally the best bread recipe I have ever had in my entire life!
Moist Honey Whole Wheat Bread
A hearty, moist and slightly sweet bread that is great as a side to any meal
Ingredients
- 13 cups whole wheat flour
- 5 cups hot water
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 and 3/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons salt
Instructions
-
Mix yeast with water in mixer and let sit for 5 minutes. Add applesauce, oil and honey.
-
Combine flour and salt then slowly add to liquids while the mixer is on low. When incorporated, mix for 5 minutes.
-
When fully incorporated the mixture should be very sticky. Let sit for 20 minutes.
-
Using a pastry brush, put shortening on 5 bread loaf pans and dust with flour until completely covered. Pyrex glass loaf pans are my favorite.
-
Pour dough equally into each pan and cover with plastic wrap coated with non-stick spray. Let rise until doubled, about 1.5 hours.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
-
Enjoy! This bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. I highly doubt it will last that long in your kitchen, however. Slather on some honey butter and you have yourself a treat!

This looks really delicious! Bookmarked! 🙂
