Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water (warm, about 110°F)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds (unsalted, hulled)
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Add the warm water, honey, and softened butter to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients.
Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and dry milk powder to the pan. Ensure the dry ingredients completely cover the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast. Be careful that the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid.
Close the bread machine lid and set it to the 'Basic' or 'Whole Wheat' program, depending on your model. Use the 'Medium' or 'Light' crust color setting.
When the machine beeps to signal the addition of mix-ins (usually in the kneading cycle), add the sunflower seeds and raisins.
Let the bread machine complete its cycle. Once finished, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely (about 1 hour).
Slice and serve as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
