Step 1
Start by adding the warm water, butter, honey, whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, vital wheat gluten, salt, dry milk, and yeast into your bread machine, following that order. Set it to the basic wheat bread cycle, but I like to shorten the baking time by about 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread, and take it out when it looks fully baked but not too browned—this keeps it soft. If you prefer a crustier loaf, feel free to let it bake the full cycle. Once it’s done, carefully remove the bread from the machine and let it cool before slicing.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This bread offers a wonderful balance of sweetness and wholesome flavor. The honey adds a gentle touch that enhances the natural nuttiness of whole wheat. It’s a healthy choice that still feels comforting and fresh.
Serving Suggestions
This bread is perfect for breakfast with butter and jam or as a base for savory sandwiches. It pairs well with soups and salads, adding a hearty touch to any meal. Toasting slices brings out its nutty aroma even more.
Storage Tips
Store the bread in an airtight container or bread box at room temperature to keep it soft for up to three days. For longer storage, slice and freeze, then toast slices directly from the freezer when needed.
