- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cups Ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon Vital wheat gluten
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
Instructions
Measure and add the water, olive oil, and honey into the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the whole wheat flour and ground flaxseed on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring they form an even layer.
Sprinkle the vital wheat gluten evenly over the flour layer.
Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the instant yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid at this stage.
Place the bread machine pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Whole Wheat' cycle, choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark), and press start.
Allow the bread machine to complete the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking process (approximately 4 hours, depending on the machine).
When the cycle finishes, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and turn the bread out onto a cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely (about 1 hour) before slicing.
