Best Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

For good health it is best to have as much whole wheat in bread as you can.  This recipe has at least 90% whole wheat.  Try it out.  It will rise nicely and have a great texture and flavor.

Make sure the paddles in the pan are in the correct orientation (usually in the same direction if you have two paddles.)

It really is best to use a kitchen scale for accurate measurement.  You will have better results.

Place 340 grams of pure water into the bread machine pan.
Add about 1 Tablespoon of butter, cut into two pieces.

Next measure into a bowl the following ingredients:
50 grams of nuts or seeds. (You may use cracked wheat in place of seeds.  If you do so, add this to the water so it can soak, and program for a delayed bake by at least 5 hours.)
50 grams of bread flour
200 grams of whole wheat flour
200 grams of white whole wheat flour (it is less bitter than whole wheat)
40 grams of white sugar
20 grams of powdered buttermilk
10 grams of powdered malt
10 grams of kosher salt
Stir these ingredients, then add to the water in the pan.

Make a small indent in the dry ingredient mix and place in it 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry (not rapid) yeast.  You may use a type of yeast designed for a quick-rise; if you do, make sure to set your bread maker appropriately.

Yield: one 1.5 lb. loaf

For a really fine bread, prepare this in the evening and set your bread machine to have the bread ready for breakfast.  Again, this bread will rise nicely and the taste will be fantastic.
Enjoy.  For your health!

Is white seeded bread as good for you as brown bread?

I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle and at so have been looking at healthier food options recently. I was wondering if white seeded bread can be as good for you as brown because i like the seeds but there is no seeded brown bread at my local supermarket.

Cheers!

White flour is bad for you. I'm not sure what kind of seeds you are talking about because seeds are good for you. So if it's white bread with seeds then brown bread would still be better for you.
