White Whole Wheat Bread

This is from the King Arthur website and is for a loaf made with white whole wheat. These directions are for a 1 1/2 pound loaf, but you can adjust to a 1-pound or a 2-pound loaf based on the flour/liquid/yeast proportions your bread machine requires. I am posting this recipe here b/c this is our go-to bread recipe (I typically make a couple of loaves a week) and I wanted easy access to it in my Zaar Cookbook.

• Ready In: 3 hrs 5 mins
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups water
• 2  tablespoons  oil (olive or veggie)
• 1⁄4 cup artificial sweetener (honey or maple syrup or sugar)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 3  cups white whole wheat flour (may take up to 3 1/2 cups)
• 1  tablespoon vital wheat gluten
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons instant yeast

Directions

1. Put all ingredients in bread pan.
2. May add an optional 1/4 c of seeds (such as sesame, sunflower, or flax, or a combination). Sometimes I also add 1/4 c of wheat germ, oat bran or wheat bran instead of flax seeds.
3. Program for basic white bread.
4. Press start.
5. 3 hours cooking time is based on a 1 1/2 pound white loaf with a light crust in my bread machine. Baking time will vary according to settings you choose on your machine.
