Homemade Bread

Craving bread but worried it’s “off-limits”? Don’t be! Bread can be wholesome fuel for your body, especially when you make it yourself with simple, clean ingredients. This easy whole wheat recipe is perfect - even if you’ve never baked bread before.

Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat flour

1 ¼ cups warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)

6. Rise again: Cover and let rise 30–45 min.

7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake 30–35 min until golden and hollow-sounding.
