12 servings
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often flag yeast because of its association with fermentation, but baker's yeast is a fresh cultured leavening that does not carry the pre-formed histamine of aged or fermented foods, and the small amount used to raise dough adds little. It is likely fine here. If you prefer to always avoid active dry yeast, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for kneading
- 1 ½ tsp fine salt
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl). Stir briefly and let stand for 5–10 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

Add the whole wheat flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook (or stir with a wooden spoon) until a shaggy dough forms, about 2 minutes.
