If you love the idea of baking homemade bread but are put off by all the hands on time it takes then you've come to the right place.

Low Carb Bread Machine Recipe

My Easy Wholemeal Bread recipe takes literally minutes to prepare, there is no kneading involved at all and proving and baking happens as you get on with other stuff.  Make sure you set a timer though, as it's so easy to lose track of time.

I've always loved crusty breads the most and this one has got a lovely golden crust with a bit of crunch. If you prefer softer crust you can simply cover your freshly baked bread gently with a clean tea towel as it cools which will makes it softer.

No you don't. I've baked this bread numerous times using just plain white and plain wholemeal (whole wheat) flours and the results are the same as when I've used strong (bread flours).

Whole Wheat Bread

You can be pretty brave and mix and match your flours here but I would advise you to keep to 50/50 ratio of white to wholemeal/whole wheat flour for the best results and nice, light crumb.

As with any homemade bread and because of the lack of preservatives it is the best on the day you bake it.

My recommendation would be to eat it fresh on the day you bake it and perhaps the following day and toast it after that. I must say I like to eat my sandwiches toasted anyway so I usually only eat it it fresh when still warm on the day I bake it.

Seeded Wholemeal Bread (bread Machine Method)

If you don't eat a lot of bread you can easily freeze it. Simply let it cool completely, slice it and pop into freezer safe bag until you need it. To defrost simply take it out onto the kitchen counter where it should thaw in an hour or so, usually less than that. Alternatively, you can simply toast it from frozen until thawed and nicely crisped up.

We love it fresh or toasted for breakfast with the variety of spreads like lemon curd, homemade orange marmalade or this plum and chocolate spread.

For lunch it will make a delicious sandwich with whatever filling you fancy. How about some wild garlic hummus or vegan egg salad? It will also make delicious addition to any soup. Some of my favourites are:

Just a few ingredients tossed into the machine, and a few hours later a wholesome loaf of soft 100% whole wheat sandwich bread emerges almost by magic.

Easy

In the past few weeks, we’ve been our bread machine to nearly daily use. I love making bread at home, but with two toddlers underfoot, I’m glad to have a bread machine that does the work for me. My little ones are especially fond of my simple bread machine white bread, and they go nuts for my bread machine honey white bread, but I was hoping to up the nutritional content a bit by trying whole wheat.

I know there are a lot of transitional loaves out there, with part whole wheat and part white flour, but I decided to go all in and see how they like it. The crumb on this 100% whole wheat sandwich bread is softened a bit by adding a bit of olive oil, and then a hint of sweetness comes through thanks to the addition of maple syrup.

All in all, it’s a very wholesome loaf that stays soft with baking and holds together beautifully when sliced. I couldn’t be more pleased.

The real test comes when I hand a slice to the babies. The verdict! Toddler Approved! Slather a slice with butter, and my little ones clean their plates every time.

This bread is soft and flavorful enough that it allows for a seamless transition from white bread to 100% whole wheat.And this mama’s happy that I didn’t have to sneak the whole wheat into the bread a cup at a time. It makes things simpler, and everyone’s happy with the outcome.

In the next few batches, I’m planning on trying honey (instead of maple) as a sweetener, and I’ll be testing whether or not I can substitute butter for the olive oil to enrich this whole wheat loaf. I may also try adding small amounts adding whole grains like oats or millet, and maybe some flax seeds too.

If you’re not ready to go all in on 100% whole wheat, I’ve recently added a couple of transitional recipes as well. I’d suggest trying my Bread Machine Honey Wheat Bread or Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread, as both have a good bit of sweetness to balance the whole wheat flavor.

Wheat Bread Recipe

I’m baking this as a 2-pound loaf in my Zojirushi Supreme Bread Machine, which makes beautiful horizontal loaves in a pan that uses two paddles for more efficient mixing. I’ve worked with many different machines over the years, and this one’s my favorite.

I’ve also included instructions for a 1 1/2-pound loaf if you’re working with a smaller machine or a machine that bakes vertically since they don’t work as well with full-sized loaves.

To make this simple bread machine whole wheat bread, you’ll follow the instructions from the manufacturer of your machine. For most machines, that means starting with the wet ingredients first in the bottom of the pan. You then make an “island” on top of the wet ingredients with the flour, and then make a well in the flour to hold the other dry ingredients (in this case, salt and yeast).

That keeps everything dry until it’s time to start the machine, and allows you to do the time delay cycle if you’d like. (Even if you’re not doing a time delay, adding the dry on top of the wet helps the paddles evenly incorporate the flour without lumps).

Turn on the bread machine and select the “whole wheat” cycle. Some machines don’t have a whole wheat cycle, in that case, just choose basic yeast bread.

Perfect

The main difference with a whole wheat cycle is that the machine gives the bread more rise time, which helps the yeast slowly digest the more nutritionally dense whole wheat flour. If you don’t have a whole wheat cycle, I’d suggest adding 1/2 tsp extra yeast to help make up for that.

Turn the machine on and let it go. It should make a loaf of whole wheat bread without any more intervention from you.

Sometimes, however, it can help to watch for the first few minutes of the knead to ensure the water/flour balance is right. Add an extra tablespoon of water, if necessary, to help the dough come together. I’ve never had to do that with this recipe, but it’s always a good idea to watch just incase.

Note: This recipe is perfectly fine to do as a time delayed bread. Be sure you keep the salt and yeast above the liquid and in the flour so they don't get wet until the cycle starts.

To make this recipe without a bread machine, knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 10 minutes. Allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 90 minutes. Punch down dough, knead for another 1-2 minutes, and form into a loaf. Place into a greased loaf pan and rise again for about 90 minutes until the bread has risen about an inch above the top of the pan. Preheat oven to 375 and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from pan to a cooling rack, and allow the bread to cool completely before cutting.A simple and easy Whole Wheat Bread Machine Recipe.
