Homemade Whole Wheat Bread

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour (3 cups) and salt (1 tsp).

2Add the warm water (1 cup) and sugar (1 tbsp) to the bowl.

3Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms.

4Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

7Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.

8Place the loaf in a greased bread pan.

9Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.

10Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

11Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool before slicing and serving.
