100% Whole Wheat Bread (in the Bread Machine)

Written by Published on in Breads, Recipes, Southern Fried Skinnyfied

I love my clunky, large bread machine. It is so worth finding space for it in my pantry. It makes delicious, homemade bread every time.

Here is a delicious recipe for 100% whole wheat bread with honey & olive oil. It’s soft with a crunchy crust and is to die for hot, right out of the bread machine. Leftover bread is great for sandwiches or toast, especially with my Poached Eggs & Milk Toast recipe.

I do like to measure my flour with my food scale because baking is such a science. I have an old Panasonic bread machine that you can find anymore, but I’ll buy this bread machine when I need a new one and you an find my food scale here.

You won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups of 100% whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour (576 grams)

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • 1/3 cup honey

  • 1 tsp vital wheat gluten* (optional but you get a better rise & softer bread)

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 tablespoon of yeast

Directions

  • Add the water to the bread machine.
  • Add the oil and honey. Measure the oil first and then the honey (the honey slides right out this way).
  • Add half of the flour, then the salt and vital wheat gluten, then the remaining flour.
  • Make a smell well in the flour and put the yeast into that well or use your yeast dispenser if you have one.
  • Set the bread machine for whole wheat bread (5 hours on mine) or quick whole wheat bread (3 hours on mine.)
