In a small bowl, combine the warm water and honey (or sugar). Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it’s foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Stir well to incorporate.

Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the bowl with flour along with the olive oil. Mix until it forms a rough dough.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased loaf pan.

Cover with a cloth again and let it rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F during this time.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and enjoy!
