A delightful bread recipe for your bread machine, combining the goodness of whole wheat and a touch of honey for a slightly sweet flavor.
Add the warm water and powdered milk to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm to activate the yeast effectively.
Add the honey, bread flour, whole wheat flour, and salt to the pan.
Layer the ingredients to keep the yeast away from the liquid until mixing starts.
Place the softened butter and olive oil on top of the dry ingredients.
Softened butter blends more easily into the dough.
Make a small well in the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Adding yeast last ensures it doesn't activate prematurely.
Set the bread machine to the whole wheat or basic cycle and start.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure the consistency is correct.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allowing the bread to cool prevents it from becoming soggy.
