ServingsIn a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the warm water and melted butter to the flour mixture. Stir the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased bread pan. Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for about 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
