Instructions
1
Begin by adding the water and olive oil to the bread machine pan, followed by the salt and honey.
2
Next, carefully add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour, oatmeal, vital wheat gluten, and active dry yeast on top, ensuring that the yeast doesn’t touch the liquid initially.
3
Select the 'Dough' cycle on your bread machine and start it. Keep an eye on the dough consistency after about 10 minutes of mixing; if it's too dry, add a little water; if it's too sticky, sprinkle in additional flour until you reach the right balance.
4
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the pan and shape it gently. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or dusted with cornmeal.
5
Cover the shaped dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
6
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the dough has risen adequately, make shallow slashes on the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
7
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
8
Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your Wholesome Multigrain Bread Delight!
