Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2.5 cups bread flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
- 1 tablespoon dry milk powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Ensure your bread machine pan and paddle are clean and correctly attached to the machine before starting.
Add 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of milk to the bread machine pan. Ensure both are at room temperature for the best results.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the wet ingredients in the machine pan.
Layer the dry ingredients on top, starting with 2.5 cups of bread flour, followed by 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds, and 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds over the flour mixture.
Add 1 tablespoon of dry milk powder and 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Ensure the salt is not touching the yeast to avoid issues with activation.
Using a small spoon or your finger, create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast into this well.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid securely.
Select the whole wheat or multigrain bread setting on your machine, if available. If not, use the basic bread setting. Ensure the loaf size is set to 1.5 pounds and the crust color is set to your preference (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the program cycle. This typically takes about 3 hours but may vary by machine.
Once the bread machine finishes baking, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts as it will be hot.
Turn the bread pan upside down and gently shake to release the loaf onto a cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool fully (at least 1 hour) before slicing to ensure the texture sets properly.
