In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water and liquid sweetener.

Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and allow it to sit for 10 minutes until the yeast starts to activate and become foamy.

Once the yeast has activated, add in the whole wheat flour and salt and, using a wooden spoon, mix everything together until a sticky dough forms. Once a dough forms mix vigorously for about 1 minute.

Place a plastic bag over the bowl and allow the dough to sit in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours or until it doubles in size.

After 1 ½ hours, remove the plastic bag and mix the dough with the wooden spoon for about 30 seconds. Recover the bowl with the plastic bag and let it rise again for another 1 ½ hours or until it doubles in size.

Meanwhile, prepare your bread loaf pan by spraying it with cooking spray. Set it aside.

After the second 1 ½ hours, mix the dough for about 30 seconds to de-gas it and then scoop the dough out of the mixing bowl and place it into your prepared bread pan. Use your hands to spread the dough out so that it fills the whole pan.

Let the dough rise in the loaf pan for about 40 minutes or until 80-90% the size it will be when baked.

Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes.

Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Slice and enjoy
