In batter bread, gluten is activated solely by beating.

Making batter bread involves no kneading; the gluten is activated solely by beating. Thus, their texture is open and coarse. Their flavor, however, can be exceptionally good.

Although it’s called whole wheat, the recipe includes equal portions of white flour and whole wheat flour; the white flour lightens the density of the finished loaf and provides a bit of extra binding strength.

1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cups warm water (105°-115°F)
2 tablespoons honey
