    Option: Whole Wheat Setting
    Press Start and allow the machine to complete the full Whole Wheat cycle.
  • Allow the machine to run its full cycle (around 3½ to 4 hours depending on the model).
  • Once done, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • This recipe is for a 1.5 lb loaf.
  • You can open the lid only during the kneading cycle to check the dough consistency or scrape down the sides. At this stage, feel free to adjust with a little more flour or water if the dough looks too wet or dry. Do not open the lid once the rising or baking begins.
  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure proper mixing and consistent results.
