Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the lukewarm water, vegetable oil, and honey into the bread machine's baking pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wet ingredients to ensure it does not interact with the yeast prematurely.
Add the all-purpose flour, then the whole wheat flour, creating a mound over the liquid ingredients.
Sprinkle the dry milk powder evenly over the flour.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast. Ensure it does not touch the wet ingredients at this stage.
Place the baking pan into the bread machine and secure it properly.
Select the 'Basic' or 'Whole Wheat' cycle on your bread machine (depending on the options available) and choose the desired crust setting (light or medium is recommended).
Press the start button and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread.
Once the bread machine completes its cycle, carefully remove the baking pan using oven mitts or a towel (it will be hot).
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
