Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups Bread flour
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cups Sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cups Dried cranberries or raisins

Directions

Step 1

Gather and measure all your ingredients for easy assembly.

Step 2

Pour the warm water, milk, softened butter, and honey into the bread machine pan.

Step 3

Add the salt, bread flour, and whole wheat flour on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring the flour completely covers the liquids to prevent premature yeast activation.

Step 4

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.

Step 5

Set your bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'Whole Wheat' bread setting, with a medium crust color preference if applicable. Start the machine.

Step 6

Once the mix-ins signal beeps (if your machine has this function), or about 20-30 minutes into the kneading cycle, add the chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries or raisins.

Step 7

Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, which will include kneading, rising, and baking.

Step 8

Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the loaf from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your freshly baked Harvest Loaf!
