Pour the warm water into the bread makerβs pan.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Add the whole wheat flour to the pan.
Evenly sprinkle the salt over the flour.
Add the unsweetened applesauce to the pan, ensuring it doesnβt come into direct contact with the yeast.
Choose the Whole Wheat or Basic Bread setting on your bread maker. Set the crust color to your preference (light, medium, or dark) and start the machine.
Allow the bread maker to complete the cycle, which typically includes kneading, proofing, and baking stages.
Once the bread maker signals that the bread is done, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
