01
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the water, milk, brown sugar, honey, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil until everything is well combined. Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt, then stir until the dough starts to come together. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough feels smooth and elastic.

Step 2
Lightly oil a clean bowl with about a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the dough in the bowl and roll it around so it’s coated in oil. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which should take about an hour.

Step 3
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Give the dough a gentle punch to release the air, then knead it a few more times. Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a loaf.

Step 4
Place the loaves into greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Let them rise again until the dough has puffed up about an inch above the pans, around 30 minutes.

Step 5
Bake the loaves for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown. Let them cool a bit before slicing and enjoying!
