A delightful and wholesome bread recipe perfect for any occasion.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
Room temperature ingredients mix more evenly, ensuring better dough consistency.
Add the warm water, softened butter, and honey to the bread machine pan.
Make sure the butter is evenly distributed for consistent mixing.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, oats, and salt to the pan.
Layer the dry ingredients to prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.
Create a small well in the dry ingredients and add the yeast.
Avoid direct contact between the yeast and liquids to ensure proper activation.
Select the Whole Wheat setting on your bread machine, choose your preferred crust color, and start the machine.
Check the dough after a few minutes of kneading to ensure the consistency is correct; adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Allowing the bread to cool prevents it from becoming gummy when sliced.
