Recipe by Vera Kaltinick Replace store-bought bread with this recipe for healthy, homemade wheat bread for heartier sandwiches.

Ingredients

2 1/4 tsp. granulated yeast
1 1/2 c. warm water
1 tbsp. organic buckwheat honey
4 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. organic orange juice
2 1/2 c. organic whole wheat flour
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tbsp. freshly ground flax meal
1 tbsp. organic sweet butter

Instructions

Place the yeast, warm water, and honey in the bowl of a mixer. Stir together and let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
To the yeast mixture, add the olive oil and orange juice, and combine using the paddle attachment. Add the dry ingredients and mix until all the flour is absorbed.
Switch to the dough hook and knead for 4 minutes on medium speed until the dough is very stiff, silky, and dry.
First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
Second Rise: Flatten out the dough on a lightly floured surface to break up air bubbles. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a 12- by 24-inch rectangle. Fold it in thirds, like a business envelope. Repeat this process one more time. Then flatten the dough and place in a buttered 9 1/4-inch by 5 1/4-inch by 2 3/4-inch baking pan and brush the surface with melted butter.
Let rise until 1 inch short of the top of the pan, about 1 1/2 hours. Bake for 1 hour. Carefully unmold onto a rack and cool completely.
