Recipe Description

A perfect Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread recipe each time? I’ve got you covered! Just a few pantry and fridge staples result in a loaf that is flavorful, soft, tender, and with perfect crumb. Plus, even if you’re not an experienced baker, this recipe is simple to follow.

What I also love about this bread machine recipe is that, unlike most whole wheat bread recipes, it uses whole wheat flour solely. With this recipe, you start by whisking the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Following the order recommended by the manufacturer, place the ingredients into the bread pan. I use the basic white bread cycle on my machine. Bread machines are all a little different, so make sure you follow the manual directions for adding ingredients, kneading, timing, and baking carefully. And enjoy the delicious results each and every time! 

To make the Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
