Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Bread flour
• 1.25 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
• 1.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add the water, honey, and olive oil to the bread pan of your bread machine. Ensure the water is room temperature or slightly warm (not hot) for proper yeast activation.

Step 2

Sprinkle the salt evenly into the liquid ingredients in the bread pan.

Step 3

Add the bread flour and whole wheat flour to the bread pan, making sure to fully cover the liquid ingredients beneath.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dry milk powder over the flour layer evenly.

Step 5

Create a small well in the center of the flour (avoiding reaching the liquid) and add the active dry yeast into this well.

Step 6

Place the bread pan into your bread machine and set it to the 'Basic' or 'Whole Wheat' cycle, depending on your machine’s options.

Step 7

Choose your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark) and start the machine.

Step 8

Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking.

Step 9

Once the cycle is finished, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine with oven mitts. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container or bread bag to maintain freshness.
