Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, milk, honey, and olive oil to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid mixture to evenly distribute it.
Add the whole wheat flour and bread flour, spreading it evenly to cover the liquid below.
Make a small well in the flour (without reaching the liquid) and add the active dry yeast into the well.
Secure the bread machine pan in the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic Bread' cycle on the bread machine, and choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark).
If your machine has an option for loaf size, select 1.5 pounds.
Start the machine and allow the cycle to complete, which typically includes kneading, rising, and baking phases.
Once the baking cycle is finished, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts.
Turn the pan upside down to release the loaf, then cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
