Easy Whole Wheat Bread

I remember the first time I tried to make bread - it was a disaster.  The bread was gross and just looked so sad.  Instead of giving up I pushed through.  I played around with ingredients, learned how dough and bread was to feel uncooked and baked.  Soon I started churning out bread that made everyone happy including myself.

There is something so tasty of warm homemade bread right out of the oven.  Both my boys love it and tend to fight over who gets the first piece.  The best part of this recipe is that it makes two loaves.  I slice the loaves up and freeze them in bags.  The hubby can pull out two slices, pop them in the toaster and enjoy a sandwich anytime.

Easy Whole Wheat Bread

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp sea salt
2 packages active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup coconut oil
3 eggs
2 cups all purpose flour

In the mixer add all the ingredients together except for the all purpose flour.  Mix together.  Add in the all purpose flour until dough forms.  Pull the dough out of the mixer and knead for about 2 minutes.  Cut the dough in half and shape each half into a ball.  Place on a greased sheet to rise for 1 1/2 hours.  After the bread has risen make criss cross marks across the top and bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes.
