Whole Wheat/Grain Bread for Bread Machine

By btaylor

Ingredients

• For 1 1/2 lb. bread machine:
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons (7/8 ounce) olive or vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 3 1/2 cups (14 ounces) King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat or Traditional Whole Wheat Flour
• 1/4 cup sunflower, sesame, millet, or flax seeds, oatmeal or quinoa, or a combination
• 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast

Preparation

Step 1

Put all of the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed. Program for basic white bread, and press Start. Take a look at the dough after it's kneaded for about 10 to 12 minutes or so; it should be smooth, not sticky (too little flour) or lumpy (too little liquid), forming a nice ball. Add flour or water as needed to achieve smooth dough. I added another 1/8 cup of water.
