Making whole wheat bread in a bread maker without adding any extra ingredients can be done using a simple recipe. Keep in mind that most bread recipes require at least a few basic ingredients like water, yeast, salt, and flour. Therefore, to make whole wheat bread without any additional ingredients, you'll need to use a whole wheat bread mix specifically designed for bread makers. These mixes usually contain all the necessary ingredients, including yeast and other additives.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make whole wheat bread in a bread maker using a whole wheat bread mix:
Ingredients:
- Whole wheat bread mix (Check the package to ensure it includes yeast and other necessary ingredients)
- Water (as specified in the bread mix instructions)
Instructions:
Read the instructions on the whole wheat bread mix package to determine the recommended amount of water to use. Typically, it will be mentioned on the back of the package.
Measure the specified amount of water and add it to the bread pan of your bread maker.
Open the whole wheat bread mix and pour it into the bread pan on top of the water. Make sure to spread the mix evenly.
Place the bread pan back into the bread maker and close the lid.
Select the appropriate setting for whole wheat bread on your bread maker. This setting is usually indicated in the instruction manual of your bread maker.
Start the bread maker, and it will handle the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking process according to the preset program.
Once the bread maker has finished the whole process, carefully remove the bread pan (it might be hot) and let the bread cool down on a wire rack.
Once the bread has cooled, slice it and enjoy your homemade whole wheat bread!
Remember to follow the instructions provided by your bread maker manufacturer and the whole wheat bread mix package for the best results. If your bread maker does not have a specific setting for whole wheat bread, use the setting that closely matches the type of bread mix you have.
