This recipe for homemade honey wheat bread is perfect for creating soft, flavorful loaves with a hint of sweetness.
Add the warm water, softened butter, large egg, natural honey, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, and active dry yeast on top of the wet ingredients.
Make a small well in the flour to place the yeast, keeping it away from the salt.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing to ensure it forms a smooth ball; add water or flour as needed.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking while handling the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a loaf.
Roll the dough tightly to avoid air pockets in the loaf.
Place the shaped dough into greased loaf pans, cover with a tea towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
A warm oven (turned off) can be an ideal place for rising.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the loaves inside.
Bake the loaves for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Tap the top of the loaf; a hollow sound indicates it's done.
Remove the loaves from the pans and cool on a rack before slicing.
Allow the bread to cool completely to make slicing easier.
