Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Bread flour
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Dry milk powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Instant dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Start by measuring all your ingredients carefully to ensure precision and successful results.

Step 2

Add the warm water, olive oil, honey, and salt to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer of your bread machine.

Step 3

Layer the dry ingredients on top, starting with the whole wheat flour, bread flour, ground flaxseed, and dry milk powder.

Step 4

Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the instant dry yeast. This keeps the yeast separate from the liquid until the machine begins kneading.

Step 5

Place the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid securely.

Step 6

Set the bread machine to the 'Whole Wheat' cycle (or the closest appropriate setting) and select your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark). Start the machine.

Step 7

Allow the bread machine to complete the kneading, rising, and baking cycles. This process typically takes about 3 hours depending on your machine.

Step 8

Once the cycle has finished, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine using oven mitts as it will be very hot.

Step 9

Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Cooling the bread ensures the texture sets properly and makes for cleaner slices.

Step 10

Slice and serve as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
