Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients into the bread pan of your bread machine in the following order: warm water, unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, and honey.
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour evenly over the liquid ingredients to create a dry layer.
Add the salt, ground cinnamon, and active dry yeast to the top of the flour, ensuring the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid ingredients.
Secure the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the whole wheat bread setting on your bread machine. Choose a loaf size of 1.5 pounds and a medium crust color if such options are available.
Press the start button and let the bread machine knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process typically takes about 3 hours.
Once the bread machine signals that the loaf is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy as a wholesome breakfast or snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
