Whole Wheat No Knead Bread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400F.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, salt, and yeast. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients, and slowly add the water, stirring as you go, until all the dry ingredients are mixed with the water.

3. 3

   Once it begins to look scraggly and has come together, add the oil and mix with your hands. Remove from the bowl and knead a few times just to bring it together.

4. 4

   Grease and flour a 2-lb. loaf pan. Form the bread dough into a loaf shape, and place in the pan. Brush the top with additional olive oil and sprinkle with salt or Italian seasoning, if desired.

5. 5

   Cover with a towel and place in a warm location in the kitchen. I like to open my oven door slightly and set the loaf pan on top of the oven so the draft of the warm oven reaches the loaf and helps it rise.

6. 6

   Let rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until it is doubled in size. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the bread from the loaf pan and place directly on oven racks for 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Store tightly covered.
