Ingredients

• 1.25 cups lukewarm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the lukewarm water, vegetable oil, and honey into the bread machine's baking pan.

Step 2

Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wet ingredients to ensure it does not interact with the yeast prematurely.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, then the whole wheat flour, creating a mound over the liquid ingredients.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry milk powder evenly over the flour.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast. Ensure it does not touch the wet ingredients at this stage.

Step 6

Place the baking pan into the bread machine and secure it properly.

Step 7

Select the 'Basic' or 'Whole Wheat' cycle on your bread machine (depending on the options available) and choose the desired crust setting (light or medium is recommended).

Step 8

Press the start button and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread.

Step 9

Once the bread machine completes its cycle, carefully remove the baking pan using oven mitts or a towel (it will be hot).

Step 10

Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
