Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey into the bread machine pan.
Add the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour on top of the liquid ingredients.
Sprinkle the salt on one side of the flour and the active dry yeast on the opposite side to prevent direct contact between the salt and yeast.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the Basic or White Bread cycle, with the crust color set to Medium.
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake automatically. This process typically takes about 2.5–3 hours depending on your machine.
Once the cycle is complete and the bread has finished baking, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely for about 20–30 minutes before slicing and serving.
