Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Bread flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the bread flour and whole wheat flour on top of the liquid. Spread them out evenly, making sure to cover the liquid completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour layers, without exposing the liquid, and add the active dry yeast to the well.
Place the bread machine pan into the bread machine and set it to the 'French Bread' or 'Whole Wheat Bread' cycle, depending on your machine's options.
Choose a crust setting (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Start the bread machine and let it complete the full cycle. This includes mixing, rising, and baking.
Once the bread machine indicates the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts (it will be hot).
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
