10-Grain Whole Wheat Bread (Bread Machine)
10-Grain Whole Wheat Bread has amazing texture and taste. It's moist and full of goodness in every bite. 10-Grain Whole Wheat Bread is deliciously healthy, makes perfect toast and is a snap to make in a bread machine.
Equipment
- Bread Machine
Ingredients
- 1 large eggs, plus enough filtered water to total 13 ounces (about 1 ½ cups)(See Tips 1, 2, and 3)
- 2 Tablespoons plus ¾ teaspoons (1.125 ounces) olive oil
- ½ Tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ Tablespoon (0.375 ounces) Kosher salt
- ¾ cup (4.5 ounces) 10-grain cereal (See Tip 4)
- 1 ½ cups (7.5 ounces) whole wheat flour
- 1 ¾ cups (8.75 ounces) bread flour
- 1 Tablespoon plus ¼ teaspoon (0.45 ounces) vital wheat gluten, optional (See Tip 5)
- ½ Tablespoon (0.1875 ounces) bread machine or instant yeast
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in the order listed to the bread machine pan. Select Wheat Bread. Press Start.
- Yield: 2-pound loaf.
Tips/Notes
- It's important to use filtered water. Tap water contains chlorine which can retard or kill the yeast. By measure, the water would be around 1 ½ cups plus 1 Tablespoon.
- Over time, I've discovered that, at least with my bread machine, I need to add enough water to the egg to total 14 ounces, not 13 ounces, as stated in the recipe.
- For the last year, I've been using club soda for the water. The Master Taste Tester swears that the club soda makes a very positive difference.
- I used Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain 10 Grain Hot Cereal. You need to make sure that it's hot cereal.
- Recently, I didn't have any vital wheat gluten, so I omitted it from the recipe. The omission made no difference at all. Therefore, it's optional to add the vital wheat gluten.
