Servings: 1 loaf
Calories: 0kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup very warm water 110 degrees-115 degrees
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup bead flour plus additional for kneading
  • 2 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the butter, honey and warm water.
  • Add the sugar and ricotta cheese and whisk into the butter and water mixture.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt.
  • Switch to a wooden spoon and stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl.
  • Stir vigorously until the dough forms a ball and comes away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 3-4 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Oil the inside of a medium bowl with olive oil spray and place the dough ball in the bowl.
  • Spray the top of the dough with oil and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Allow the dough to rise until doubled in volume (approximately 60 minutes) in a warm, draft free place.
  • Turn the risen dough out onto a clean counter and roll into an approximate 9" x 12" rectangle.
  • Roll the dough, starting from the narrow end and place the log seam side down in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with olive oil spray.
  • Allow the dough to rise until doubled in bulk (approximately 40-50 minutes) in a warm, draft free place.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until it golden brown and sounds hallow when tapped.
  • Cool the bread on a wire rack for 15 minutes and then turn the bread out of the pan and continue cooling on the rack until completely cooled.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!
