The Best honey wheat bread machine recipe

I’ve been making this honey wheat bread machine recipe for years, and it’s still a staple in our household. My family loves it, and I love how easy it is to make. The best part is that it’s perfect for any occasion – whether we’re having a quick breakfast or a special dinner, this bread is always a good idea.

I’ve tried many different bread recipes over the years, but this one remains my favorite. The combination of honey and wheat flour gives it a unique flavor that’s both sweet and savory at the same time. And the best part?

It’s incredibly easy to make in a bread machine. Just throw all the ingredients in, set the machine, and let it do its magic. It’s really that simple.

I’ve experimented with different types of honey and wheat flour, but I find that using pure honey and whole wheat flour gives the best results. The honey adds a richness to the bread that’s just unbeatable, while the whole wheat flour gives it a nutty flavor that complements the honey perfectly. One of the things I love about this recipe is how versatile it is.

We use it for sandwiches, toast, and even just plain old snacking on its own. And because it’s made in a bread machine, it’s ready in no time – perfect for those busy mornings when you need something quick but still want something delicious.

🥘Ingredients

For the Bread

1 1/4 cups water, lukewarm (105-110°F)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Pour the lukewarm water into the bread machine pan.
2Add the honey and softened butter, then sprinkle the salt over the liquid.
3The water should feel warm but not hot to the touch to avoid killing the yeast.
4Add the bread flour and whole wheat flour on top of the liquid, covering it completely.
5Make a small well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast into the well, keeping it away from the salt and liquid until mixing begins.
6Place the bread pan into the machine and select the whole wheat or basic white bread setting, depending on your machine.
7Choose a medium crust setting (light, medium, or dark) and press start.
8The machine will mix, knead, rise, and bake the loaf automatically.
9When the cycle ends, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts.
10Turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely for at least 1 hour before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
