We use our bread maker to create a really fantastic soft bread. No preservatives, excellent for children, and oven-preparable.
| Prep Time: | 10 mins |
| Cook Time: | 45 mins |
| Total Time: | 55 mins |
| Servings: | 16 |
| Yield: | 1 loaf |
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup raw honey
- 3 ½ cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup vital wheat gluten
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons dry milk powder
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Instructions
- Place warm water, butter, honey, whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, vital wheat gluten, salt, dry milk, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run a basic wheat bread cycle, but adjust the cook timer to cut baking time down by 25 to 30 minutes. I time the bread and take it out when I see that it is not yet brown. If you like a crusty bread you may let it cook the entire time.
- Remove loaf from the machine after the cycle is done.
- Take bread out to cool. The “keep warm” function keeps your bread warm, but also continues to cook it! Set on counter. While still slightly warm, I bag my bread to keep it soft.

Reviews
This is the best bread machine bread I have made- so soft and moist inside with a slight crisp on the outside. I followed the recipe except substituted the flaxseed meal with wheat germ (1:1) since that is what I had on hand. It is a winner! Will definitely make it again.
My family just love this bread! Made only a couple of changes. I let the yeast foam for 5-10 mins in warm water with 1 tbsp flour and a tsp of sugar. Then I pour yeast water in the bread machine pan first and then add the remaining ingredients (mixed well in a separate bowl). Then run the machine program. SK
