Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 0.25 cups Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Measure and add the warm water, molasses, and unsalted butter into the bread machine pan.
Next, sprinkle in the salt, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, and bread flour in an even layer.
Add the dry milk powder on top of the flour mixture.
Make a small well in the center of the flour mixture and add the active dry yeast into the well. Be careful to not let the yeast touch any liquid at this stage.
Secure the bread machine pan in the machine and select the 'Basic' or 'Whole Wheat' bread cycle, depending on your machine's settings.
Choose your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark), if available, and start the machine.
Once the bread machine completes its cycle and the bread is fully baked, carefully remove the pan and turn the bread out onto a cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
