Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast (rapid rise)
Instructions
Add all ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast is added last in an indent on top of the flour.
Close the bread machine lid securely and select the rapid rise or quick bread cycle (which usually takes about 2 hours).
Choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) according to your preference.
Press the start button and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, and bake the bread. You can periodically check during the initial mixing to ensure the dough is properly forming; adjust with a small amount of water or flour if needed.
When the cycle is complete and the bread has baked, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Serve fresh or store the bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
