Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
- 1.5 teaspoons instant yeast
Instructions
Start by ensuring the bread machine's pan and paddle are correctly installed.
Measure 1 1/4 cups of warm water (around 110°F or just warm to the touch) and pour it into the bread machine's pan.
Add 3 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the pan.
Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of salt over the liquid ingredients.
Measure 3 cups of whole wheat flour. Add the flour to the pan, ensuring it completely covers the liquid below.
Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten evenly over the flour.
Finally, add 1.5 teaspoons of instant yeast on top, ensuring it does not touch the liquid ingredients.
Place the pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Whole Wheat' cycle on the bread machine. This setting is often longer to allow for proper gluten development and yeast activation. Choose your desired crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Press 'Start' to begin the cycle. The bread machine will mix, knead, and bake the bread automatically.
When the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Turn the pan upside down and gently shake to release the bread. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
