Garlic Rosemary Wheat Bread

One of my favorite things to make is bread! I've done many basic wheat bread recipes, but I wanted to add some interest and favoring with garlic and rosemary! 
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups of whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups of white flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened 
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1 packet of yeast
  • 2 cups of warm water
  • Roasted garlic 
  • Fresh rosemary  

Dissolve the packet of yeast in the warm water and let sit for 5 minute. In a separate bowl mix together the honey, butter, & salt. 
Add the water/yeast mixture to the honey/ butter mixture.
Slowly begin to add the yeast. 
With about one cup of flour left to add the mixture will be too dough-y to mix, which is when I turn to kneading. Transfer the dough ball to a lightly floured surface, add the remaining flour and kneeeead! 
Add in the roasted garlic! Yummmm!
Then add in the rosemary!

Once everything is evenly mixed move the ball to a clean bowl and lightly cover the dough with olive oil.
 About an hour or two later the dough will double...
Once the dough ball is twice it's original size divide it into two separate balls.
Leave these to rise some more, about 30 minutes. In this time pre-heat the oven to 375.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
And you're done! Now the tricky part here is to not eat it all in 10 minutes!
