2 packets dry yeast (14g) 2 tbsp honey 650 ml lukewarm water 900 g whole wheat flour 2 tsp salt 1 tbsp sugar or honey 100 ml olive oil 1 tbsp sunflower oil (for greasing the pans)

In a large bowl, mix yeast, honey, and lukewarm water. Cover with a towel and let it activate for 15 minutes until bubbly.

In a mixer, combine flour and salt.

Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead in the mixer for 10–15 minutes until smooth and elastic. Knead for 2 more minutes on a clean surface.

Let the dough rise in a warm place, covered, for 1 to 1.5 hours, until doubled in size.

Divide into two loaves, shape them, and place into greased pans. Let them rise again for 30 minutes. Score the top with a knife.

Preheat oven to 180°C and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and hollow-sounding underneath.

Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
