Instructions

1
Mix the yeast and 2 tablespoons of the honey into warm water. Let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
2
Stir in the remaining honey, melted butter, and salt.
3
Slowly mix in the whole wheat flour. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
4
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5
Press the dough down gently to deflate it and cut it in half. Shape each piece into a loaf.
6
Place each loaf into a greased loaf pan and cover. Let them rise for 30-40 minutes.
7
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the loaves for 30-35 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
8
Cool the loaves in the pans for 10 minutes. Move them onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
