Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

Liquid Ingredients (add first)

  • 1 1/4 cups water lukewarm
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or liquid honey

Dry Ingredients (on top of wet)

  • 3 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. SAF Instant Yeast or 2 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients into the bread machine in the order listed. The dry ingredients go on top of the wet, making an island with the flour. Make a well in the flour and place the salt and yeast in it, so they don't get wet until the machine starts kneading.
  • Select the "whole wheat" setting if your bread machine has one. If not, choose basic white. If using the "basic white" setting, add an extra 1/2 tsp of yeast.
  • Turn the machine on and allow it to run a full cycle, first kneading and then baking the bread in the machine.
  • Allow bread to cool completely before cutting.
  • Note: This recipe is perfectly fine to do as a time delayed bread. Be sure you keep the salt and yeast above the liquid and in the flour so they don't get wet until the cycle starts.

Notes

To make this recipe without a bread machine, knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 10 minutes. Allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 90 minutes. Punch down dough, knead for another 1-2 minutes, and form into a loaf. Place into a greased loaf pan and rise again for about 90 minutes until the bread has risen about an inch above the top of the pan. Preheat oven to 375 and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from pan to a cooling rack, and allow the bread to cool completely before cutting.
