Recipe for 83% Whole Wheat Bread in the Bread Machine

The CommonSenseMom's Recipe for

83% Whole Wheat Bread

in the Bread Machine

1 egg plus enough water to equal 7/8 cup
1 t. lemon juice
1/2 t. salt
2 T. honey
2 T. olive oil
1/2 c. bread flour
2 1/2 c. King Arthur white whole wheat flour
3 T. dried milk
scant 1 T. vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 t. yeast

We really like the white whole wheat flour. I have used Wheat Montana, Hodgsdon Mills, and King Arthur brands, and I like King Arthur the best. Check Kroger if you have one nearby. The white whole wheat is nutritionally equivalent to red wheat, but has a milder flavor. The egg contains lecithin which acts as a natural preservative. You may wish to increase the salt to your taste.
