Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 tablespoons Vital wheat gluten
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Measure all ingredients carefully and add them to the bread pan of your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, begin with the wet ingredients, followed by the dry ingredients, and finish with the yeast on top.
Step 2
Ensure the yeast does not directly touch the salt or liquid to prevent inhibiting its activation.
Step 3
Select the 'Whole Wheat' or equivalent cycle on your bread machine. If available, choose a 'Dark Crust' option for a richer crust color.
Step 4
Press the 'Start' button to begin the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking process.
Step 5
Once the bread machine completes its cycle, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts or a towel as it will be hot.
Step 6
Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
Step 7
Slice the bread once it has cooled and store it in an airtight container or freezer bag for freshness.
