Whole Wheat Bread

Lately, I’ve been trying to introduce more whole grain foods to our family’s menu.  I know the health benefits of whole grain foods are amazing, but we don’t like the ‘cardboard-ish’ texture of some of them.  I have found some delicious 100% whole wheat bagels that everyone likes, and even some whole grain toaster pastries that make a great quick breakfast, but I’m going to try to make my own whole wheat bread too.

If you have a bread machine, this looks like a very simple whole wheat bread recipe:

Whole Wheat Honey Bread

• 1 1/8 cups water
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
• 1/3 cup of honey
• 1 tbsp. dry milk powder
• 1 1/2 tbsp. shortening
• 1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

Place all ingredients in the pan within your bread machine.  Following the directions for your particular model, adjust to whole wheat setting, and start. Source:  All Recipes.
