A delightful homemade bread recipe that combines wholesome ingredients for a perfect loaf.
Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
In a separate bowl, mix the white bread flour, whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, and gluten.
Mixing the dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution.
Add the dry mixture to the bread machine, then sprinkle the yeast on top.
Adding the yeast last prevents it from activating prematurely.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start.
The dough cycle handles kneading and the first rise for you.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it on a floured surface.
Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a loaf.
Use a bench scraper for precise division.
Place the loaves on a baking sheet and let them rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Cover the loaves with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even baking.
Bake the loaves for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Tap the bottom of the loaf; a hollow sound indicates it's done.
Cool the loaves on a wire rack before slicing.
Cooling prevents the bread from becoming gummy when sliced.
