Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Millet flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
Instructions
Begin by preparing your breadmaker. Make sure the pan is securely in place, and the paddle is properly attached.
Add the ingredients to the breadmaker in the following order: water, orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, and honey.
Sprinkle the salt around the edges of the pan to keep it separate from the yeast.
Add the all-purpose flour, millet flour, and whole wheat flour in layers, ensuring an even coverage over the liquid.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture and add the instant yeast. Be careful not to let the yeast touch any liquid.
Select the ‘Basic’ or ‘Whole Wheat’ cycle on your breadmaker. Choose a 1 1/2 lb loaf size and set the crust to your preferred darkness (medium crust is recommended).
Start the breadmaker and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the dough. This should take approximately 3 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the breadmaking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing. This helps preserve the bread’s texture and prevents crumbling.
Serve as a delightful accompaniment to breakfast spreads or enjoy it toasted with butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
