This recipe yields a satisfyingly dense whole wheat loaf, ideal for those who prefer a substantial bread. Adapted for a bread machine, it uses straightforward ingredients including whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and yeast. The method ensures the yeast remains separate from the wet ingredients until the cycle begins. After baking, a brief cooling period is recommended before slicing for the best texture.

100% Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients

  • 1 5/8 cups water
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 teaspoons active dry yeast

Method

  1. Pour the water into the pan of your bread machine.
  2. Place the brown sugar, salt, and whole wheat flour into the pan, tapping it to settle the contents and using a finger to push flour into the corners.
  3. Create a small indentation in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour the yeast into it, ensuring it does not contact the wet ingredients. Choose the whole wheat programme on your machine, select a crust colour, and initiate the cycle.
  4. Once the baking cycle is complete, take the loaf from the machine and let it cool for approximately 15 minutes prior to slicing.
