A delightful homemade bread recipe with a touch of honey and whole grain goodness, perfect for any occasion.
Add the warm water to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the salt, canola oil, and honey to the pan.
Layer the ingredients to prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.
Add the whole grain flour on top of the liquid ingredients.
Spread the flour evenly to cover the liquid completely.
Make a small well in the flour and add the bread machine yeast.
Ensure the yeast does not touch the liquid until mixing begins.
Select the whole wheat setting on your bread machine, choose a light crust, and start the machine.
Check the dough consistency after a few minutes of mixing and adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
