White Mountain Bread Recipe
Making white mountain bread is quick and easy and can be done with just a few simple ingredients. The most important ingredient in this bread is white whole wheat flour, which can be found at most supermarkets. Let's start?
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Warm water (105-115 degrees F)
- 4 cups All-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (plus more for greasing the bowl and brushing the bread)
- 1/2 cup White whole wheat flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir gently to combine and sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
- Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the bowl and stir gently to combine. Add the olive oil and stir until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding more flour until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Grease a large bowl with olive oil and add the dough to coat.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and sit in a warm place for about 1 hour until the dough has doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into two pieces.
- Shape each piece into a round loaf and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
- (Store any leftover bread in a sealed bag for up to 3 days at room temperature.)
