Made with simple, pantry-friendly ingredients like whole wheat flour, honey, and olive oil, this recipe delivers a naturally hearty and slightly sweet loaf that’s as healthy as it is satisfying. The bread machine does all the work—from mixing and kneading to baking—making it a foolproof option for beginners and busy bakers alike. Perfect for sandwiches, toast, or as a side to soups and salads, this whole wheat bread boasts a tender crumb and golden crust that will elevate any meal. Ready to enjoy with just 10 minutes of hands-on prep, this recipe is your go-to for fresh, preservative-free bread every time.
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids (warm water, olive oil, and honey) are added first, followed by dry ingredients (whole wheat flour and salt), and with yeast added last, ensuring it does not come into direct contact with the water or salt.
Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Whole Wheat' or equivalent cycle. Choose a medium crust setting, if applicable.
Start the machine and allow it to mix, knead, and bake the bread according to the selected program. This will usually take about 3-4 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the bread-making cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts (it will be hot). Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your homemade 100% whole wheat bread fresh, toasted, or as a base for your favorite sandwiches!
