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

Directions

• 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!
