Add the warm water to your bread machine pan. Ensure the water is between 100Β°F and 110Β°F to activate the yeast correctly.
Add the maple syrup and softened butter to the pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the whole wheat flour and bread flour to the pan, ensuring the flour covers the liquid completely.
Add the dry milk powder on top of the flour layer.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch the liquid at this stage.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Whole Wheat' setting on your bread machine. If your machine does not have this setting, choose the 'Basic' setting and ensure the crust color and loaf size are appropriate (medium crust, 1.5-pound loaf).
Press 'Start' and let the bread machine work through the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking stages.
When the bread machine beeps indicating the bread is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts (it will be hot!).
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely (at least 1 hour) before slicing.
