Wheat Bread-Bread Machine

You don’t need a long ingredient list to bake a loaf worth bragging about. This honey wheat bread comes together with six pantry staples and lets your bread machine handle all the kneading, rising, and baking.

The honey adds a gentle sweetness that pairs naturally with the nutty depth of whole wheat flour, while bread flour keeps the texture soft and sliceable instead of dense.

Fresh from the machine, the aroma alone will have everyone hovering around the kitchen. Slice it warm for toast or let it cool for sturdy sandwich bread that holds up all week.

Pro Tips

• Always add liquids first and yeast last so the yeast stays dry until the cycle starts
• Use the light crust setting for a softer exterior that’s easier to slice
• Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off; scooping packs it too tightly and can make the loaf dense
