Bread Machine Wheat Bread Recipe Honey

Honey Whole Wheat Bread for the Bread Machine is a firm, sweet loaf of whole wheat bread, unbelievably delicious for soups, sandwiches, and toast. It’s my all-time favorite bread machine recipe.

I was given a bread machine for our wedding (now lots of years ago) and but for a few years, have always had one on hand.

While I’ll always love making my own loaf in the oven, the convenience of a bread machine is such a pleasure for busy days, weekends… or when your efforts are elsewhere.

This is the bread machine I own and it is in use multiple times per week. Affordable and a great bread machine.

Instant Yeast: Be sure to use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast. I like to purchase “Bread Machine Instant Yeast” in a jar I keep in the refrigerator.

Absolutely. The bread will be denser and will not rise as high. To help, you can add an optional 1 tablespoon Vital Wheat Gluten with the flour for a higher rise.

Once the dough comes together, knead it until smooth; about 8 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled; 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Then, deflate the dough and shape to fit a greased 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ loaf pan. Let the dough rise one more time, covered, until doubled; about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 35 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven, invert onto a rack to cool before slicing.

It is no secret that I’ve been working to perfect a honey whole wheat sandwich bread machine recipe for months now. I was not only looking for a recipe that was reliable and tasted good of course, but that also didn’t contain any “unusual” ingredients like dried milk powder or wheat gluten. For a gluten-free option, try this Paleo Bread!

We absolutely LOVE the honey whole-wheat loaf from Great Harvest, and if they can make it with only five simple ingredients (freshly ground whole-wheat flour, water, honey, salt & yeast) then I should be able to do it too!

Featured Comment Wow! Your recipe has it all! First, of course, it’s delicious. Density is perfect, and my favorite part is that it is so low in salt.– Patricia Colenari

So after months of experimenting, I am thrilled to finally have a homemade bread recipe to share. And while this recipe comes out just right 9 times out of 10, I’ve learned that things can’t always be “perfect” when it comes to baking bread machine recipes.

If you aren’t weighing your ingredients and instead just measuring them out like me, or if you live in a place where the humidity might change from time to time … well then, expect some occasional surprises with the outcome of your bread.

I have learned one valuable trick though (from a blog reader!), and that is to check on the bread once or twice during the kneading process to make sure the dough looks “right.” I’ve caught mine looking too wet and sticky a couple of times, so I’ve added a few sprinkles of flour to get things back on track before the baking started. Using whole wheat flour is crucial here! Not only does it make your bread recipe more nutritious, but it’s also more filling and flavorful.

I also want to share that this particular recipe makes a loaf that is on the larger side, which I like because then I don’t have to replenish our bread supply every two days. This loaf also comes out with a lighter crust due to its big size, and that is a plus in my book as well.

After your honey whole wheat bread has finished baking let it rest for a couple of minutes until it’s cool to the touch. Then remove the bread from the pan and wrap it completely with a clean cotton or linen tea towel. Place the wrapped bread on a rack to cool.

The towel helps stop the bread’s moisture from being drawn out in the open air while still being breathable enough to keep the crust from turning mushy.

Also works in the oven. Keep in mind that this recipe is for a 2lb loaf so you’ll need a large pan (or split it between two smaller bread pans).

The first option is to use your bread maker to mix and proof the dough, then remove it to bake in the oven. If you don’t have a bread maker, though, you’ll need to make several adjustments to make this whole wheat sandwich bread with honey by hand:

Old or inactive yeast: Yeast is alive and will become inactive under certain conditions. Honey or any type of sugar helps to activate it. Before you bake, make sure the yeast hasn’t expired. Once opened, a container of yeast only keeps for about four months when stored in cool environment, like the fridge. High temperatures can make yeast inactive quicker.

Water temperature: The water should be between 105 and 115 degrees F, a lukewarm temperature that you can comfortably wash your hands in. Too cool and the yeast won’t activate, too hot and it kills the yeast.

Honey

Specific instructions for how to add the yeast. The general rule is to keep the yeast dry; if your bread machine doesn’t have a yeast compartment, see if it helps to dig a small well in the flour to keep yeast from activating too soon in the cycle. If you prefer a version without a brand machine, make this Whole Wheat Bread!

Didn’t wait long enough: If you’re making this recipe by hand make sure you wait until the yeast has fully activated before adding other ingredients.
