Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 tablespoons Vital wheat gluten
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add 1 cup of warm water (100–110°F) to the bread machine pan to ensure proper yeast activation.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the water. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of salt evenly over the liquid ingredients to ensure it mixes well during kneading.

Step 4

Carefully add 3 cups of whole wheat flour into the bread machine pan, ensuring it covers the liquid without mixing.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten evenly over the flour to enhance the bread's texture and rise.

Step 6

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast, ensuring it does not touch the liquid ingredients.

Step 7

Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Whole Wheat' cycle. This cycle usually takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes but may vary depending on your machine model.

Step 8

Select the desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark), then press 'Start'.

Step 9

Once the cycle is complete, use oven mitts to carefully remove the bread pan from the machine.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing or serving.
