Mama's Whole Wheat Bread Recipe (by Peaches and Cream): 1) Make the sponge: mix the following in a large bowl, then cover in plastic, and let rise for 15-20 mins (or until really bubbly): * 3 cups (390 grams) whole wheat flour * 1 1/2 Tablespoons yeast * 3 cups (700 ml) warm water, about 110* Fahrenheit 2) Mix the following into the sponge from step 1: * 1/2 cup (185 grams) honey [I put 1/4 cup only and still find it sweet] * 7 Tablespoons (95 grams) oil * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt [put only 1/2 tsp if you are watching your sodium intake] * 3 cups (390 grams) whole wheat flour 3) You will probably need to mix in another cup (130 grams) or so of whole wheat flour until the dough is of kneadable consistency (i.e. not too sticky and not too dry). 4) Knead the dough for 10-15 mins (with machine, or by hand on a floured counter). Whole wheat bread needs more kneading than white flour to make a soft fluffy dough. Don't add too much flour as you are kneading (to avoid making your dough too dense). Knead until smooth, soft, and elastic. 5) Let dough rest 10 minutes on counter. Meanwhile, grease your baking sheets with cooking spray or oil. 6) Grease countertop, dough, and hands with oil (to prevent sticking), then form the rolls any shape you like (e.g. 13 large rolls, or 20 medium rolls, or make loaves). 7) Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30-40 minutes until almost doubled in size. 8) Bake in preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. 9) Brush tops with warm butter then serve, or transfer to cooling rack.

Since nobody reviewed this, I'll be the first one to do so: I used a little more flour (metric measures) than the recipe required. Nevertheless they came out fluffy and puffy. Just quite flakey, although I kneaded the dough for 20 minutes, but I think it's the flour I used, which seemed not to be as finely grounded as yours. Also a little bit to sweet for my liking (I used 120g agave), since we Germans enjoy our breads on the savory side. But all in all it is bouncy, soft, fluffy and delicious as a hamburger bun or sloppy joe. If that's what you're looking for, this recipe is perfect.

Best whole wheat recipe I have come across it's unfortunate that people are missing out on this - every home baker needs to see this video.

This is the best whole wheat bread recipe I've ever tried!! i've tried countless other recipes making whole wheat dough, but none of them makes a dough as elastic and smooth as this one. So excited to have this for dinner! Thank you and Mama for sharing this amazing recipe!!!

I made this two days ago but shaped it into two loaves, absolutely love it!! This is one of the best recipes I’ve found on KZfaq.

I just made these whole wheat breads and turned out so successful. They are soft, so healthy. I have been looking for these kinds of recipe for long time. This is the best whole wheat breads I ever made. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

This is the best tasting bread I've ever had! The texture is unlike any 100% whole wheat bread I've had. I made dinner rolls and they look exactly like bread made with bread flour. Thank you very much 💕💕💕💕 I've found the recipe that I will be following for the rest of my life.

I'm making it for the third time. This recipe is mind blowing!! ❤️❤️ I can't thank you enough

I needed to bake whole wheat rolls and I checked on youtube your video drew my attention after watching i prepared and baked mine with your recipee. I just finished and it turned out perfectly right, very soft, very nice. I baked so that my family could have bread for breakfast. The bread aroma filled my house. I ate two big rolls because it's so soft and delicious. I have tried other recipes but they didn't turned quite perfect like yours. Thanks for sharing. I dont think I need to be paying $7:99 for organic bread. I even got greative and added chia, and some other nut yet is was perfect. I can't praising your recipe because it will save money and for the fact it's homemade is what give me the most joy.

This is the best recipe I’ve found & I’ve been looking for months. I added 1 cup of honey and it’s not too sweet, just perfect & I can’t stop eating them. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I am making this right now, just waiting for it to continue to rise while the oven is heating up. My husband cannot wait until he eats some😋😋😋😋 thank you!!! This recipe is so easy to follow. Simple ingredients that many people already have in the kitchen. Thank you so much!! I am a stay at home mom and I'm trying to learn so many things before my kids go to preschool and I'm off to working again. Thank you!!!!🙏🙏

Hi, I've been trying to make bread as a beginner for a few months now and everytime, it's a little off. This recipe worked wonders for me and the loaf came out perfect and soft. Thank you so much for sharing it 💖

I tried the recipe and it came out so delicious. I only put in 1/4 cup of honey and I used olive oil. It still turned out good. I had my brother taste it and he said it’s really good. Turned out better than what I had expected. Thank you for sharing this recipe with easy to follow instructions.

Omg this is full proof recipe, things turned out perfect for me even though I am inexperienced bread baker. Thanks to you & your Mama for sharing this perfect recipe.

I made this recipe today. Instead of honey I used 2tsp row sugar. On top sprinkle poppy seeds and sesame seeds. Came really good. Thank you for the recipe.👍👍👍

Finally, found the secret of soft whole wheat bread! Thanks to you and Mama. جزاك الله خيرا في الدنيا والاخرة What made the difference... * Using half of the recipe flour to make the sponge with very very warm water. * Don't let the whole dough rise to punch it down.

My family loves the bread made from your recipe. It's so soft, fluffy and sandwiches are cleared faster than I can make them. Thank you for sharing your mum's recipe.

I made this tonight - absolutely DELICIOUS, the best whole wheat bread recipe I've ever made! (I cut the honey in half and used maple syrup because that's what I had.) Thank you so much for sharing!

This is the most amazing whole wheat bread recipe. I add seeds to the dough as well and on top. Love it!!!!

Oh my goodness. I tried this recipe today. I didn't have honey, so I replaced it with some sugar. Wow, so soft and amazing! Thanks for the recipe 🙏

This is the recipe I have been waiting for. Made it today without honey since my mother is diabetic. Came out well. Thank you from India.

I made WW bread almost a thousand times. This!! is the best recipe for WW ever. I replace the oil with melted butter for more aroma last time, the texture was rougher but got the very good buttery scent. BIG THANKS for sharing.

Oh my goodness, I am so excited to try this recipe! ALL WHOLE WHEAT, so happy!

Best recipe!! It really works. This is the only true whole wheat bread recipe.

I made one third quantity and I am totally blown away by the results....soft spongy and so light, amazing. Will be my favourite forever. Tried half dozen different recipes for quite a while to get just this kind of texture... thanks for your mama's recipe.... God bless you both.

Great recipe, simple, easy, awesome results! Best of all, I love your straight forward instructional style. I just subbed your channel.

Thank you Peaches and Cream, I didn't think the bread would turn out well,because last time the bread didn't turn out as well, but when it came out of the oven it was so spongy and fluffy,and rich.Once again thank you so much.😊🍞

Absolutely love it, I have been stuck in a rental house without an over because of the lockdown in India, so I tried it without an oven and it came out pretty decent. Can't wait to get my hands on my oven at home and try it again for better results. Thank you for sharing your mama's recipe :)

I'm so glad I found your recipe, thanks a ton for sharing ♥️Your recipe is the only one which uses the sponge technique and shorter proofing times..I tried these today with some variations - 3 cups of whole wheat flour, half cup of bread flour, and ended up using another half cup of all purpose flour while kneading as the dough was sticky. I used just 1.5 cups of warm water for the sponge, but I think you are right when you mentioned that the stickiness of the dough depends on the type of flour used. They turned out good though a bit dense and not fluffy like white bread. I will try your tips of letting it rise for a longer time than 40 mins before baking and adding less flour as I experiment with this recipe...They tasted better than white bread, just need to get it right the next time 👍 Can you post a recipe for Rye bread? Thanks once again and much love from 🇮🇳 🙏🙋

I did it! 🎉❤ came out great. Thanks

I’m so in love with this recipe! So easy and simple, yet the bread was amazing! My family love it so much! So fluffy and soft,,! Thank you so much for the recipe!

Oh my God, finally!!!!! I got the best recipe and method of whole wheat bread I've looking all over the KZfaq for.👍

I don’t usually leave reviews but I love this recipe! The buns are soft, sweet and delicious! Usually when i use whole wheat, the bread comes out very dense but this recipe is different! Thank you!

I've been looking for a great whole wheat roll recipe. I think I just found it! I will be making 60 of these for a church dinner next Sunday. I will post how they go over. (I am a pretty experienced baker.)

First time ever making bread and wow this was absolutely delicious! The recipe was easy enough to follow. My dough consistency was a little different from in the video but I’m sure I will get better with time. I made 6 large rolls and a loaf out of the recipe. Thank you for sharing this! This is definitely a keeper recipe!

This recipe worked out great. I saw one reviewer said it was too sweet. So I was going to use half the honey, but completely forgot the honey all together and it was still great. 😂

Omg if I could give this recipe a hundred thumbs up I would.. I have tried different recipes but the bread came out dense but this recipe is wonderful. No potato flakes or gluten

I made it today. It was amazing. Thank you so so much. All my family loved it. Excellent texture.

Oh my god, bestest buns ever, like I cannot tell, express the level of softness... Thank you so much for this quick and a wonderful recipeee... Lots of love from India...

The bread looks awesome and a must try. What's most amazing is there it's done quickly without the many proving .

Really was needing a great recipe for whole wheat without the heaviness. This is perfect Love them!! Making bread is way cheaper and affordable now days but always has been healthier for you Thank you for this recipe!! ♥

My first time to bake wheat bread. Baked 6 mini loafs and 1 loaf. Came out tops. Soft and very tasty. Will bake it now weekly for myself.

I followed your recipe. My family said this is the best bread I've ever made. Thank you ;-)

Best recipe i have seen on KZfaq yet now.

O my!!! I could listen to your voice for day! Combined with this wonderful recipe is just perfect. Definitely subscibed!

This is an amazing recipe. My family kept complaining about the rough and super crumbly texture of wholewheat bread. I've been looking for this for a very long time. Thank you so much. Good bless your Mama 🥰

I made this bread a few weeks ago and it was great, here I am to make it again. Awesome explanation. I had regular bread flour so I mixed it with the whole wheat flour. Used less honey and salt because our taste is used to it. They grow a lot so will make the smaller this time, will also be using them as hamburger buns. Two thumbs up! Thanks!

O m g. I made this but half the measurements as its only me and hubby... its amazing best ever.

I wrote this in my recipe book this is a keeper, it taste better than the bread I've been buying, fresh out of the oven with butter, delicious.

OMG. It worked, perfectly. I could not do the squeeze thing, I Tried, but... So I just kind of stretched and formed them into shape. They came out looking great and tasting even better. Perfect size for Hiking Sandwiches that won't get squashed in my pack. It may be the Flour I used, I get it from a Stone Mill out of Waco Texas, Def not a light flour but the flavor is really good. But they seem heavy when you pick them up, though they are fluffy on the inside. Thank You again, I will be trying more recipes of yours. Another thing I only burnt my hands 3 times, that's a record.

it's now my every week bread recipe! Thank you so much!

You can use lightweight cotton napkins instead of plastic wrap for the rise. My metal bowl is like yours and a napkin did it for the sponge with a large dinner plate on top. Great recipe! Made six rolls and one loaf. The spatula shape is perfect for the mixing.

you had a machine to knead it but you still kneaded by hand for the sake of this video 😂🤌, thanks for the recipe . This is my go to recipe for baking a bread !

You are the female version of Bob Ross,only with food. Very soothing voice and a great recipe..thanks😄

Great Recipe.. I was looking like this perfect whole wheat bread for long time... now i got this... looks so delicious..

תודה רבה על המרשם של מאמא. יצא נהדר. ניסיתי לא מעט פעמים ם מרשמים אחרים אך המרשם של אמא שלך הוא המוצלח ביותר. נכון, קצת יותר עבודה ממרשם רגיל אך הלחם יצא רך, אורירי וטעים. כל הכבוד. הערה: כמעט כולנו בישראל דוברים אנגלית, כמובן, קשה להבין כאשר מדברים מהר בשפה זרה ולכן אולי עדיף היה גם לרשום את ההוראות בכתב בנוסף לכמויות המרכיבים השונים. בהחלט, תוצאה נהדרת. hank you so much for the great recipe of Mama's bread. It turned out great. I have tried quite a few other recipes but your mother's recipe is the most successful. True, a little more work than a normal recipe, but the bread turned out soft, airy and delicious. Well done. Note: Almost all of us in Israel speak English, but it is difficult to understand when speaking quickly in a foreign language, so perhaps it would have been better to write down the instructions in addition to the quantities of the various ingredients. Absolutely, great result.

Awesome, mine turned out soft, puffy and tasty. Thanks for posting the recipe!

We recently started buying wheat berries and milling our own flour. But we aren't fully whole wheat. So I have been experimenting with this recipe.... I've made it 3 times now because it always turns out great, but the dough is the stickiest to knead and it seems a bit finicky... even if I replace a cup of whole wheat with 2 cups of white, I still end up kneading in another cup or 2 of 50/50. Also I do add a bit extra salt and replace half the oil with melted butter because I like the extra flavor it lends. Most recently I reduced the liquid by a 1/4 of water... but still a bit sticky.... oh well. Also I am able to get one small loaf and about 8-12 medium rolls because of the extra flour I have to add. Which works well for me, especially since the rolls freeze well!

Made these last night and they are both easy and delicious! Thanks!

Just tried this today. Oh, so good! Very good instructions. I am not a avid bread baker, but this recipe worked out pretty well. Thanks for sharing this!

This is the BEST bread EVER!

I started making these rolls when I was living in the Middle East and they cane out perfect but I'm back in the UK now and every time I make them the dough is so sticky! It's impossible to work with without adding a lot of flour at the kneading stage. Please help!

Tried it, love it. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

I'm going to make this soon!! I love the recipe and I cant wait to try it!!! Edit 6/2/22= I made the buns and they turned out AWESOME!!! I had some trouble with the yeast but the rest was easy💗tysm💜

Right now in Bombay, India @10 am, I am trying out your mamas recipe. Over here this is called as pav and it's eaten along with bhaji (very spicy gravy comprising different types of veggies). I will update you how it turned out. I seriously hope it turns out good as just yesterday I had tried making sorghum cake made by an Italian lady but it turned out to be a total failure 😫.
