Fluffy Whole Wheat Bread in a Bread Machine
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
- 2 tablespoons oil (a neutral oil)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups stone-ground whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
1. Add the ingredients to the bread machine (bread maker) in the following order: warm water, oil, honey, salt, stone-ground whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, and active dry yeast.
2. Select the whole grain or whole wheat setting on your bread machine.
Choose the 1.5-pound loaf option.
4. Select your preferred crust color if your bread machine has this choice.
5. Start the bread machine. It will likely take 3 - 4 hours.
6. Once the cycle is complete and the bread is baked, remove it from the bread machine and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Use stone-ground whole wheat flour with this recipe. Regular whole wheat flour may result in a dryer, less flavorful loaf.
Use a neutral oil like olive or grapeseed.
I used Kosher salt in this recipe. Use another type if you prefer.
A bread machine is also called a bread maker.
