Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
1. Add the milk and water into the bread machine pan. Both should be warmed to about 110°F (43°C) to activate the yeast without killing it.
2. Pour in the maple syrup, then add the unsalted butter. Cut the butter into small chunks to help it incorporate more easily during mixing.
3. Sprinkle the salt around the edges of the bread machine pan to keep it separate from the yeast at the start.
4. Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and dry milk powder into the pan. Ensure these dry ingredients fully cover the wet ingredients.
5. Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the active dry yeast. This ensures the yeast doesn't activate prematurely.
6. Place the bread pan into your bread machine and secure it according to your machine's instructions.
7. Select the 'Whole Wheat' or equivalent setting on your bread machine. Choose the 'Medium' crust option, if available.
8. Start the bread machine and let it run its full cycle, which typically takes about 3 hours.
9. Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread pan from the machine and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before gently turning out the loaf onto a cooling rack.
10. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for best results.
