Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Vital wheat gluten
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, honey, and low-fat milk to the bread machine pan. Ensure the liquids are at room temperature or slightly warm (not hot) to activate the yeast properly.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Add the whole wheat flour, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Sprinkle the vital wheat gluten evenly over the flour. This ingredient helps improve the texture and rise of the whole wheat bread.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid at this stage to promote proper activation.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' cycle. Set the crust preference to 'Light' or 'Medium' as desired, and start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle. This typically takes about 3 to 3.5 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely before slicing. This allows the bread’s texture to set and prevents tearing during slicing.
