Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3.25 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Vital wheat gluten
- 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water to the bread machine pan. Ensure the water is warm (not hot), roughly 110°F (43°C), to activate the yeast without killing it.
Add the olive oil, maple syrup, and salt to the pan.
Carefully add the whole wheat flour, ensuring it covers the liquids completely. This helps maintain proper layering in the bread machine.
Sprinkle the vital wheat gluten evenly over the flour. Vital wheat gluten enhances the texture and rise of whole wheat bread.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast. Avoid letting the yeast come into direct contact with the liquid at this stage.
Place the pan in the bread machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' program. Choose the desired crust color setting (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Start the machine and let it knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process will take approximately 3 hours (specific timing may vary depending on your machine).
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is baked, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts.
Gently remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
