Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
In the bread machine pan, add the warm water, honey, and vegetable oil.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the whole wheat flour and bread flour to the pan, ensuring that they completely cover the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour, being careful not to reach the liquid layer, and add the active dry yeast to the well.
Close the bread machine lid and set it to the 'Whole Wheat' bread cycle. Choose the desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark) and a loaf size of 1.5 pounds if applicable.
Press start and allow the bread machine to knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
