Pour the water into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and stir in 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Add 1 cup of the all-purpose flour and 3 cups of whole wheat flour to the bowl along with the brown sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and milk. Mix on low speed to combine. Continue mixing on medium speed, adding the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough grabs the hook and clears the sides of the bowl; you may not need all the flour. Mix on medium speed for about 5 minutes. Oil the bowl and turn the dough to coat. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- 3
Punch down the dough and place it on a floured surface. Divide it into two equal pieces and use a rolling pin to roll each into a rectangle about 16x8 inches, pressing out all air bubbles. Roll up the rectangles into loaves and pinch the seams to seal.
- 4
Set the loaves seam side down in greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut a few slits across the tops. Let rise until a finger pressed into a loaf leaves a dimple, 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- 5
Bake the loaves for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the loaves are deep brown. Remove from the pans and cool on a wire rack.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
