How to Make Whole Wheat Molasses Bread Bread Machine

  1. Add 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) to your bread machine pan.
  2. Add 2 teaspoons active dry yeast to the water and let it proof for about 5 minutes, until foamy.
  3. Add 1/4 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
  5. Select the “light” setting on your bread machine and start the cycle.
  6. If the dough seems too sticky during mixing you may add additional all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  7. Once the bread machine cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
