Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Bread flour
- 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
Directions
Step 1
Ensure your bread machine pan, paddle, and all tools are clean and ready for use.
Step 2
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the following order: warm water, whole wheat flour, bread flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Lastly, make a small well in the flour and add the active dry yeast, ensuring it doesn’t come into contact with the liquids.
Step 3
Place the pan into the bread machine, ensuring it’s securely set up.
Step 4
Set the bread machine to the 'French Bread' or 'Whole Wheat Bread' setting (depending on your machine's functionality). Select the appropriate crust setting, such as 'light' or 'medium' depending on your preference.
Step 5
Start the machine and leave it to knead, rise, and bake. This process typically takes around 2.5–3 hours, depending on the machine.
Step 6
Once the cycle is complete, use oven mitts to carefully remove the bread pan. Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 5–10 minutes.
Step 7
Gently remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 8
Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
