This recipe creates a soft and flavorful whole wheat bread, perfect for sandwiches or as a side to your favorite meals.
Add the warm milk, honey, and softened butter to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt on top of the liquid ingredients.
Layer the ingredients to keep the yeast separate from the liquid until mixing starts.
Make a small well in the flour and add the yeast.
Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquid directly before mixing.
Set the bread machine to the whole wheat setting and start the cycle.
Check the dough consistency during the first kneading cycle and adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the 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 for the best texture and flavor.
