BASIC WHOLE WHEAT BREAD #1

This bread machine recipe was passed on to me by my friend Charlotte It has a strong honey flavor and makes excellent toast, has a great texture and rises up nicely even with all this whole wheat flour. I am not sure why, but each Bread machine seems to like its ingredients put in a certain order. This is the order for the Williams-Sonoma. Just check your machine instructions to determine in what order yours should go.

1/3 cup honey
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons canola oil or butter (at room temperature)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk
3 cups whole wheat flour
½ cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cornmeal, almond meal, ground flaxseeds or oats (I have had success with each of these)
2 tablespoons gluten
2 teaspoons yeast

Place the ingredients in the machine in the above order. Program for Whole Wheat cycle, 2 lb. loaf, Light crust.
