Ingredients
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon olive oil (120 cal, 0 carb, 14 fat, 0 protein)
2 tablespoons sugar (97 cal, 50 carb, 0 fat, 0 protein)
2 cups whole wheat flour (240 g) (I use my vitamix blender to grind the wheat. For maximum nutrition, grind the wheat just before using) (816 cal, 172 carb, 6 fat, 32 protein)
1 1/2 cups white all purpose flour (187 g) (683 cal, 143 carb, 1.8 fat, 20 protein)
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten (17 g) (70 cal, 1 carb, 0 fat, 14 protein)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
Instructions
Put all of the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed. Program for basic white bread (or for whole wheat bread, if your machine has a whole wheat setting), and press START.
This is the bread machine I use- available on Amazon here. I've made over 300 loaves of bread with it over the last couple of years and it still works great!
I picked it out because it has a ceramic nonstick pan, and the mixer blade does not leave a large hole in the loaf like other kinds of bread machines do. This model has a very thin and small mixer and you can hardly notice the void in the loaf when you remove it from the pan.
I LOVE it and would buy it again in a second!
My bread machine takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes to make wheat bread. It comes out of the pan the easiest if I let it cool down for a few minutes. The longer the better, but at least 10 minutes is best.
