Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2 teaspoons Instant dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Sunflower seeds (optional)
- 0.25 cup Flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
Ensure the bread machine paddle is securely attached to the bread pan.
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the following precise order: warm water, olive oil, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, bread flour, and dry milk powder. Sprinkle the instant dry yeast on the top of the flour to keep it dry.
If using sunflower seeds or flaxseeds, add them to the machine after the initial mixing cycle or according to your bread machine’s instructions for additional ingredients.
Secure the bread pan into the bread machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' or similar cycle on the machine. Adjust the crust color (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Press 'Start' and allow the bread machine to complete its cycle (kneading, rising, and baking). This typically takes about 3 hours.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts (it will be hot).
Turn the pan upside down and gently shake the loaf out onto a cooling rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade whole grain bread!
