Recipe FAQ

Can I use bread flour instead of whole wheat flour?

You can use bread flour in place of whole wheat flour, but the bread will have a different texture and flavor. If you want to use bread flour, substitute it for the whole wheat flour in equal amounts.

Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?

Yes, you can use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast in this recipe. Use the same amount of instant yeast as you would active dry yeast.

What's the best way to store homemade bread?

To keep your homemade bread fresh, store it in a plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot. Water that's too hot can kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising.
  • Add your ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order listed in the recipe to ensure everything gets mixed together properly.
  • Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bread machine pan after the dough has been kneaded to ensure everything gets mixed together properly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.

Enjoy your freshly baked whole wheat bread!
