Moist and Light Honey Pecan Wholewheat Bread – Bread Maker Version

Prefer seeing photos with a recipe - I've included a link below.

The dough for Moist and Light Honey Pecan Wholewheat Bread, as it was being kneaded in my bread maker, looked super sticky. I added two tablespoons of white flour and was tempted to add more. I’m glad I didn’t. This bread cooked up beautifully with a moist and light texture. Nothing ‘cardboard’ about it, unlike some wholewheat breads. Recipe does include some all purpose white flour.

About that bit of ‘Extra Flour’. When making bread dough, the amount of flour needed can vary depending upon the humidity of the flour etc. If the dough looks more like glue than dough, add a tablespoon or so of flour. After the bread maker kneads for awhile, the dough should come away from the sides and form a ball. If it doesn’t, add another tablespoon of flour. There’s NO way you can screw it up!

Loaf Ready in About 4 1/2 hours

2-LB. Loaf

(For Ingredients for a 1 1/2-LB. Loaf… Continue Scrolling Down)

** ADD INGREDIENTS TO BREAD MAKER IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER **

• 1 1/3 cups milk

• 4 tsp. butter

• 2 cups whole wheat flour

• 2 cups white bread flour

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast/bread maker yeast

• 1/4 cup chopped pecans

If your bread maker alerts you when to add ‘extras’, add pecans then. If not, add nuts after dough has been kneaded for about 10 minutes. Want to add chia seeds, flax seeds etc.? Just remove an equal amount of flour from the recipe.

Set bread maker cycle to ‘GRAIN’ if possible. Otherwise, set bread maker cycle to ‘BASIC’. It doesn’t get much easier than that! ; o ) Enjoy!
