Measure and add water (should be warm but not hot, around 110°F or 45°C) to the bread machine pan.
Add honey and olive oil to the water in the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle salt over the liquid mixture.
Gently add the whole wheat flour and bread flour to the pan, ensuring the liquid is fully covered.
Sprinkle the dry milk powder evenly over the flour layer.
Make a small indentation in the center of the flour without reaching the liquid. Add the active dry yeast into the indentation.
Place the bread machine pan securely into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the "Whole Wheat" bread setting, choose the preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark), and start the machine.
Once the machine signals during the kneading cycle (about 5-10 minutes into kneading), add the chopped pecans.
Allow the bread machine to complete the entire baking cycle.
When the baking cycle is finished, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Gently turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
