Ingredients
| 1 2/3 cup water |
| 2 tablespoons butter or canola oil |
| 1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
| 2 teaspoon salt |
| 4 2/3 cup whole wheat flour |
| 2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
2 lb Low-sal Whole Wheat Bread Directions
- Measure and add liquid ingredients to the bread pan
- Measure and add dry ingredients (except yeast) to the bread pan
- Use your fingers to form a well (hole) in the flour where you will pour the yeast. Yeast must never come into contact with a liquid when you are adding ingredients. Measure the yeast and carefully pour it into the well.
- Snap the baking pan into the breadmaker and close the lid
- Choose the "whole wheat" setting on your bread machine. Choose your desired crust color, if you have that option.
- Press the start button and wait for it to finish (usually about 4 hours)
Recipe notes
We buy a 50 pound bag of whole wheat flour for around $20 - so it's definitely worth buying it in bulk and makes this go-to loaf quite affordable.
Bread machines vary in size. This is a recipe for a 2 pound loaf size, so adjust as needed.
We've used this in 3 different 2 pound bread makers with good success.
The yeast may need adjusting. The original recipe calls for 3 teaspoons, but it ended up being too much so we adjusted down to 2 teaspoons.
If you really like baking your own bread, I highly suggest getting the active dry yeast in bulk. I came across this in my rural town grocery store and had never seen anything so big! It is 1lb of yeast and usually sells for less than $20. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Star-Active-Yeast-pound/dp/B003EE0CHA We always bought the little brown jars (priced between $5-10), but had no idea we could go bigger!
