INGREDIENTS

• 2 to 2 1/2 cups bread flour
• 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 package fast-rising active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup hot (115° to 125° F) water
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

• In large bowl of electric mixer, combine 1 2/3 cups of the bread flour, the whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt. Stir to blend dry ingredients thoroughly.
• In a small bowl combine hot water, honey, and oil; stir to blend well. Add water mixture to flour mixture. Mix to blend, then beat at medium speed until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Stir in about 1/3 cup more bread flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a well-floured board or pastry cloth. Knead until dough is smooth under surface (5 to 10 minutes), adding just enough bread flour (up to 1/3 cup) to prevent dough from being sticky.
• Turn dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (30 to 40 minutes). Punch dough down, cover with inverted bowl, and let rest 10 minutes; then use as directed in recipe.
