Description
A delicious homemade whole wheat bread made in a bread machine.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups milk (I used 2%, temperature 110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups whole wheat flour (strong wholemeal flour in the UK)
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Layer your ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the following order: Milk, Butter, Salt, Honey, Flour, Oats, and lastly, Yeast.
- Add the bread pan to the bread machine, and make sure that it’s secured. Close the lid, and plug in the machine. Choose the basic bread setting, medium size, and start the machine.
- The bread machine will now take over for you, and knead, proof, and bake your bread dough!
- OPTIONAL: If you want to do the egg wash, when the bread is finishing the rising part, brush on some egg wash over the top and sprinkle with some oats. Close the lid, and allow the machine to continue and bake.
- When the baking cycle ends, unplug the bread machine, open the lid, and remove the pan from the machine with kitchen mitts. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then shake it out of the pan and allow it to cool completely. Carefully remove the paddle from the bottom of the loaf if it got stuck there.
Notes
- This bread is great for sandwiches or to enjoy with butter and jam.
- You can substitute honey with sugar if preferred.
