Honey Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

This slightly sweet, whole-grain bread is hearty and satisfying.

Overview

Add flour, salt, and vital wheat gluten to WildSide+ jar in order listed and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 3–5 times to mix and sift dry ingredients.
Pour dry ingredients into a separate bowl.
Add water, yeast and 1 tbsp honey to jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 2 times. Allow the yeast to proof 5–10 minutes.
Add remaining honey, oil, and lemon juice to jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 2 times.
Add ⅓ of dry ingredients to jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 2–3 times. Add next ⅓ of dry ingredients to jar and secure lid. Press “Pulse” 4-6 times. Add the last ⅓ of dry ingredients to jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 6–8 times until all flour is incorporated and a dough ball forms.
Allow dough to rest in jar for 10–15 minutes. Dump dough ball onto oiled surface and shape loaf.
Place shaped loaf, seam side down, into 9"x 5" greased loaf pan. Cover loaf pan and allow dough to rise for 20 minutes in a warm place or until dough has topped the pans by approximately one inch.
Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes, then increase temperature to 400 degrees and bake until top is golden brown.
Remove bread from pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

When I let the shapes bread rise, it didn’t rise to top the pan. Any idea why it stopped rising? I waited for 40 minutes.

When I tried to mix the dough my blender says "over temperature"

It shouldn’t be over temperature, we’re just pulsing in this recipe, not blending. Did you use a blend cycle? Feel free to call our customer service team at 1-800-748-5400, they are trained to troubleshoot and diagnose over the phone.
