King Arthur 100% Whole Wheat Bread Machine Bread

Ingredients

283g Water

27g Olive Oil

85g honey or 60g maple syrup

397g Whole Wheat Flour

1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten, optional; for higher rise

9g Salt

1.5 tsp instant yeast

Directions

To make bread in a bread machine: Put all of the ingredients into the bread pan in the order listed. Program for basic white bread (or for whole wheat bread, if your machine has a whole wheat setting), and press Start.

Remove the bread from the machine when it's done. Either turn it out of the pan onto a rack to cool; or turn it out of the pan, place it back in the machine (atop the structure that holds the pan), crack the lid open about 1", and let it cool right in the cooling-down machine. This helps prevent the crust from wrinkling as the loaf cools.

**To bake by hand**

Use dough cycle. Then:

Gently deflate the dough and shape it to fit a greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" loaf pan. Let it rise, covered, until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Bake the bread in a preheated 375°F oven for 35 minutes, or until a digital thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf reads 190°F. Remove the bread from the oven, remove it from the pan, and cool it on a rack.
