Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup shredded wheat cereal (crumbled)
- 3.25 cups bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
Instructions
Add the milk and water to a small saucepan and warm over low heat until lukewarm (110°F to 115°F). If using a microwave, heat the liquids in short intervals and stir to ensure an even temperature.
Pour the warm milk and water into the bread machine pan.
Add the honey, butter, and salt to the pan.
Crumble the shredded wheat cereal into small pieces and sprinkle it evenly over the liquid mixture.
Add the bread flour next, making sure it completely covers the liquid ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast. Be careful not to let the yeast come into contact with the liquid below.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Basic Bread' or 'White Bread' setting (depending on your model). Choose the 'Medium Crust' option if applicable.
Start the bread machine and allow it to run through the complete cycle, which includes mixing, kneading, rising, and baking.
Once the bread is baked, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Gently turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture.
