Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Directions
Step 1
Start by measuring all ingredients accurately. Ensuring proper measurements is crucial for bread-making success.
Step 2
In the bread machine's pan, add buttermilk, water, honey, and butter. Make sure the butter is softened or cut into small pieces for optimal mixing.
Step 3
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wet ingredients.
Step 4
Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and dry milk powder to the bread machine pan, being careful to cover the liquids completely.
Step 5
Make a small indentation in the center of the flour (but not deep enough to reach the liquid) and add the active dry yeast into the indentation. This will prevent early activation of the yeast.
Step 6
Lock the pan into the bread machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' setting. Choose your desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) and standard loaf size (typically 1.5 pounds).
Step 7
Start the bread machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process usually takes about 3 hours depending on your machine's settings.
Step 8
Once the machine signals that the bread is ready, carefully remove the pan (using oven mitts if hot) and turn the bread out onto a cooling rack.
Step 9
Allow the bread to cool completely, at least 30 minutes, before slicing to ensure it holds its shape.
Step 10
Serve as desired. Store in an airtight bag or container for up to 2-3 days, or freeze for extended shelf life.
