The other day while doing grocery shopping, I bought Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour on sale. With cost of wheat (and almost everything) going up, I thought I should buy this and save it for later. You know how you always see a recipe or 2 on any food package you buy at store – this whole wheat flour package had a recipe for 100% Whole Wheat Bread for Bread Machines and Swiss Style Two Grain Bread. We were running out of bread, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to try this 100% whole wheat bread recipe.
I made few changes to the ingredients to make it more healthy and I think it turned out really great – it has a firm texture due to 100% wheat and has a subtle sweetness of honey
Ingredients: 1 lb loaf
1 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1½ tablespoons olive oil
2½ cups whole wheat flour
1¼ tablespoon dry milk powder
1½ tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon gluten
1 tablespoon soy flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flax meal
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- Put all the ingredients in the bread pan (follow the instructions on the manual) and select the dough cycle.
- Preheat the oven to 350 C.
- When the dough cycle ends, empty the dough into a floured surface and shape it into a loaf and let it rise in a greased/floured loaf pan for about an hour.

- Bake the raised dough in the oven for 45 minutes.

- Let the bread cool for about an hour before slicing.


beautiful bread! Thanks for sharing that recipe – I’m going to have to try it.
