For a softer crust, brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. To ensure even rising, place the dough in a warm, draft-free environment. A slightly warmed oven (turned off!) works well.

01 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the warm water and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
02 Step
Recipe View 20 mins Combine and Knead: Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 3 cups of whole wheat flour to the bowl, along with the remaining brown sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and milk. Mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined. Increase the speed to medium and gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and clings to the dough hook. You may not need to use all of the flour. Knead on medium speed for approximately 5 minutes. (Total time: ~20 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 1 hrs First Rise: Lightly oil the bowl and turn the dough to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
04 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Shape the Loaves: Punch down the dough to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Use a rolling pin to roll each portion into a rectangle, approximately 16x8 inches. Be sure to press out any air bubbles. Roll the rectangles tightly into loaves and pinch the seams to seal.
05 Step
Recipe View 45 mins Second Rise: Place the loaves, seam-side down, into greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut a few slits across the top of each loaf. Let the loaves rise until a gentle press with your finger leaves a slight indentation, about 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
06 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Bake: Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking for another 30 minutes, or until the loaves are a deep golden brown. (Total time: 45 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View 0 mins Cool: Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Jun 14, 2025My dough didn't rise the first time, but I realized my yeast was old. Once I used fresh yeast, it worked like a charm!
