How to Make 100 Whole Wheat

  1. Combine all ingredients in your bread machine in the order listed below.
  2. Select the 'Regular' or 'Basic' bake cycle on your bread machine.
  3. After the first knead cycle is complete (you'll hear a change in sound or see a light indicator), carefully open the machine and gently fold the dough over on itself 2-3 times.
  4. Close the machine and allow the baking cycle to continue uninterrupted.
  5. Once the baking cycle is complete, remove the bread from the machine and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
