This honey wheat bread is a delightful and wholesome option for your bread machine, perfect for any occasion.
Pour the warm water into the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot, as this helps activate the yeast without killing it.
Add the honey and salt to the water in the pan.
Mix the honey and salt slightly to help them dissolve in the water.
Add the bread flour and whole wheat flour to the pan.
Layer the flours evenly to create a barrier between the liquid and the yeast.
Make a small well in the flour and add the yeast.
Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid to prevent premature activation.
Place the pan in the bread machine, select the whole wheat setting, and start the machine.
Choose the crust color according to your preference for a softer or crunchier crust.
Once the bread is done, remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
