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, in that order. Choose the basic wheat bread setting, but shorten the baking time by about 25 to 30 minutes. I usually keep an eye on the bread and take it out when the crust looks lightly browned, which keeps it softer. If you prefer a crustier loaf, feel free to let it bake for the full cycle. Once the baking is finished, carefully remove the bread from the machine and let it cool before slicing.
Why you’ll love it
This bread is a wholesome choice that combines the nutty flavor of whole wheat with the natural sweetness of honey. It’s easy to make using a bread machine, which saves time and effort while giving you fresh, homemade bread. The result is a soft, slightly sweet loaf that’s perfect for everyday meals.
How to serve
This bread tastes great fresh and warm, spread with butter or your favorite jam. It also works well for sandwiches, toast, or alongside soups and salads. Try pairing it with nut butter and sliced bananas for a simple, healthy snack.
Storage & leftovers
Let the bread cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup. Keep it in an airtight container or bread box at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, slice and freeze the bread, then toast slices as needed.
