Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1.25 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine's pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid mixture.
Carefully add the whole wheat flour, ensuring it completely covers the liquid base.
Sprinkle the vital wheat gluten evenly over the flour.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch any liquid to prevent premature activation.
Insert the bread pan into the bread machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' cycle. If your machine has crust options, select your preferred crust shade (e.g., light, medium, or dark).
Press start and let the bread machine handle the rest of the process, including kneading, rising, and baking.
When the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts. Gently turn the pan upside down to release the bread onto a wire rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely (at least 30 minutes) before slicing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
