Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Start by measuring all the ingredients precisely to ensure the best outcome for your bread.
Add the warm water (approximately 110°F or 45°C) into the bread pan of your bread machine.
Pour in the olive oil and honey, followed by the salt. Ensure these liquids are well-dispersed at the bottom of the pan.
Spoon the whole wheat flour on top of the liquid ingredients. Spread it evenly to form a layer that covers the liquids completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Be careful to keep the yeast away from the salt to ensure proper activation.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and securely lock it into place.
Select the ‘Whole Wheat’ program on your bread machine, typically 3-4 hours, depending on your machine model. Choose the desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark).
Press the start button and let the bread machine handle the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking process.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Gently turn out the bread onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing for best texture and flavor.
Store the bread in an airtight container or bread bag to keep it fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature, or freeze for longer storage.
