Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Start by ensuring your bread machine's pan and paddle are properly installed.
Pour 1 cup of warm water and 0.25 cup of milk into the bread machine pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), followed by 2 tablespoons of honey.
Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour and 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, layering them over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Create a small well in the center of the flour and add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast to the well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid.
Secure the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the whole wheat bread setting on your bread machine. If your machine does not have a whole wheat setting, use the basic bread setting instead.
Choose your desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) and press start.
Allow the bread machine to complete its mixing, kneading, rising, and baking cycles (usually 3-3.5 hours depending on your machine).
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts.
Turn the bread out onto a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool completely (about 1-2 hours) before slicing.
Slice and enjoy your perfectly balanced 50% whole wheat bread as a snack, breakfast, or side dish!
