Begin by gathering all ingredients and ensuring your bread machine is set up and ready for use.
Add the warm water, molasses, and softened butter into the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Layer the whole wheat flour and bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring they fully cover the liquid.
Add the dry milk powder on top of the flour. Make a small well in the flour with your finger or a spoon without exposing the liquid underneath.
Place the instant yeast into the well in the flour.
Insert the bread machine pan into the machine, lock it in place, and close the lid.
Select the 'Whole Wheat' setting on your bread machine. Choose the 'Light' or 'Medium' crust option depending on your preference.
Start the machine. The bread machine will mix, knead, and bake the bread, which should take approximately 3 hours in total.
Once the bread machine signals that it is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts as it will be hot.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing to avoid crushing the loaf.
Enjoy your rustic brown bread sliced thick with butter, jam, or as the base for your favorite sandwich!
