For our last anniversary, Dad-oo treated me to my very first bread machine. I know, romantic isn’t?
Actually, that’s what I asked for, and it is one of my favorite anniversary gifts every.
Since I’ve had the bread machine, I’ve kind of turned into a bread-making freak. I use it at least twice a week, sometimes more if I’m really in the mood for some carb-loaded goodness. Bread, dinner rolls, hot dog buns. Pizza dough, cinnamon rolls and English muffins. Mmmmmm, now I’m hungry.
I’ve been experimenting with a bread recipe for the last couple of months, trying to perfect it so I could share it with everyone. Now, it’s finally ready. Tada! A healthy, whole wheat bread that isn’t too heavy, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. And when it’s fresh from the oven, it makes a killer PBJ.
Just pop in the wet ingredients.
Then add the dry.
Set the program, and in a few short hours, your bread is ready. Plus your house smells heavenly.

2-pound loaf – mix ingredients int he order recommended by your bread machine

This bread looks like its the perfect texture! And so healthy with all the whole grains and flax. I’ve been trying to make a good gluten free bread that isn’t all just starchy flours. I hope I can figure one out that looks as appetizing as yours!
