50% Whole Wheat Bread

Recipe #46479 | 3¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

This is our "everyday" lunch bread. I make it every night for the next day. I originally got it from the Oster bread machine recipe book but I adapted it somewhat. The 100% whole wheat recipe was just too heavy for our family. It makes a 2 lb loaf. Once I started making this bread, I couldn't go back to store bought!

1 large loaf (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order listed (and as accurately as possible).
  2. 2
    Select the whole wheat bread cycle (usually takes 3 1/2 hours).
  3. 3
    Remove from the pan when it's done and let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
  4. 4
    During the summer I reduce the yeast to 1 tsp because it seems to rise so much more during the summer than the winter. Or you could increase the salt slightly (salt kills the yeast so it doesn't rise out of the machine!) So if you're getting a really huge loaf (and some of you have) try one of these 2 things and it should be better for you. For some reason atmospheric pressure (which varies according to seasons) makes a difference in how a bread rises. Enjoy!

A wonderful easy bread, makes lovely fresh tasting toast. Just rises a bit too much you have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't hit the top of the machine and collapse. If it looks like its going to I just open the bread machine up and this seems to slow down the rise just enough. Thanks a lot for this recipe it is a lovely everyday healthy bread.

    Thank you so much for this recipe! I had stopped using my breadmaker because I just couldn't find a recipe that I liked. This was a total hit. I have two pieces of bread left and am looking forward to making another loaf tonight!

    Great loaf of bread! I don't have a machine so I have been making this by hand . I mix the water and yeast first, add the wet ingredients, then the dry. Knead for 20 minutes, rise 1 hour, punch and form in pan, rise 1 hour (as SponGe has done), then bake at 350 for 1/2 hour. I have tried using all molasses, half molassas and half honey ... both are great. This even worked for me with 100% freshly ground hard red wheat flour! Yum. I make 1 or 2 loaves a week

    This makes one excellent loaf of bread. I used molasses and loved the touch of flavor it gave. I am trying to get away from plain white bread so will use this recipe instead of buying bread from the store. Had a nice texture. Thank-you for posting this recipe.
