Ingredients
Method
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water (105°F-110°F), honey, and active dry yeast. Let stand for 7-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add olive oil, sea salt, vital wheat gluten, and half of the sprouted flour mixture. Whisk on low speed using the paddle attachment until blended.
- Gradually incorporate the remaining sprouted flour mixture. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead on medium-low speed for 8-10 minutes until elastic and slightly tacky.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 60-75 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, divide into two equal portions, shape into loaves, and place into two greased 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pans.
- Cover loosely and proof for 35-45 minutes until dough rises approximately 1 inch above the pan rims.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes until internal core temperature reaches 195°F-200°F.
- Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Always measure flour by weight for exact precision. Ensure the bread cools completely before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
