Ingredients

12 servings

1 ⅛ cups warm water (80–90°f / 27–32°c)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp honey
1 ½ tsp salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp vital wheat gluten
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)

Instructions

1
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order listed: water, butter, honey, salt, whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, and yeast. Keep the yeast separate from the salt by making a small well in the center of the flour and adding the yeast there.
2
Insert the pan into the bread machine, select the Whole Wheat cycle, choose a 1.5 lb loaf size, and set the crust to Medium. Press Start and allow the machine to complete the full cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking — typically 3 to 3 hours 30 minutes total.
