Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees F)
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoons applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground flax seed (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Method

  • Add ingredients in order they are listed into your bread machine and use dough setting.
  • Remove dough from machine once cycle is done form into a loaf. Place in greased loaf pan and cover. Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. If loaf starts browning too soon, lightly lay a piece of foil on top of the loaf to prevent too much darkening.
  • Remove bread from oven and allow to rest in pan for a few minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cover with a cloth. Slice and enjoy while still warm!
  • *If you do not have agave nectar or applesauce, you can use the same amounts of honey and oil, respectively. The above is a healthier alternative.
