Ingredients:

Gather these simple ingredients and let’s get to baking!

3 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups lukewarm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

Instructions:

Now, let’s get our hands doughy and make some magic happen!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This shows that your yeast is alive and ready to work!
Next, add the whole wheat flour, salt, and honey to the yeast mixture. Mix it with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Once combined, turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, don’t hesitate to sprinkle a bit more flour!
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece into a baguette by rolling it gently with your hands.
Place the shaped baguettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them once more and let them rise for about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Just before baking, make a few diagonal slashes on top of each baguette using a sharp knife. This allows steam to escape during baking!
Bake the baguettes for 20-25 minutes or until they’re golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let them cool on a wire rack, if you can resist the smell long enough. Once cooled, slice, serve, and enjoy!

And there you have it, family! Freshly baked Whole Wheat Baguettes that’ll impress anyone who gets a taste. Share them with your loved ones or enjoy them all by yourself. Happy baking!
