Add the ingredients to your breadmaker pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first, followed by dry ingredients, with yeast added last.
Start with water, molasses, vegetable oil, and honey.
Follow with all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and baking soda.
Create a small well in the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast into the well.
Set the breadmaker to the 'sweet bread' or equivalent setting for a 1 1/2 lb loaf.
Add the chopped crystallized ginger when the breadmaker signals for add-ins or during the kneading cycle.
Allow the breadmaker to complete the cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking.
Once completed, carefully remove the loaf from the breadmaker pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
