Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Heat the milk: Warm the milk to the appropriate temperature based on your yeast.
Combine wet ingredients: Add the warmed milk, olive oil, and egg to the flour mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Step 2: Form the Dough
Stir and knead: Add more bread flour (about 1/4 cup) if necessary, and knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Let the Dough Rise
First rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
Step 4: Shape and Second Rise
Shape the dough: Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf by rolling it into a log.
Second rise: Place the dough into a greased loaf pan and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes, until it rises just above the top of the pan.
Step 5: Bake the Bread
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
