Vitamix Whole Wheat Bread

1 1/4 cups warm water (110F degrees)
1 package (2 1/2 tsp) rapid rise yeast 
1 tablespoon honey 
2 1/2 cups (300 g) whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Stir together warm water, yeast, and honey in a liquid measuring cup. 

Place flour and salt in the dry blade container. Pulse on high to form a hole in the center of the flour. Pour the water mixture and the oil into the hole. Pulse 5 times until the dough is mixed. 

Grease a loaf pan and turn the oven to 350 degrees. 

Use a wet spatula to pull the dough off the sides of the blender and into the center. Pulse 5 times. Pull the dough to the center with the spatula again, and repeat the pulsing and pulling 4 more times. Turn the container upside down over the loaf pan and let the dough fall into the pan. Scrape out any remaining dough with a spatula. 

Cover the pan loosely with a piece of greased plastic wrap and let rise 20 minutes, until the dough reaches the top of the pan. 

Bake 35 minutes. Let the loaf cool 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a gallon ziplock bag.
