San Benito House Whole-Wheat Bread for Bread Machine
(Shared by San Benito House, Half Moon Bay, CA)
I made this today (in the bread machine) and it makes a really good bread for sandwiches. It has a tender crumb and is slightly sweet. It has a nice mixture of white and whole wheat with dark flecks showing on the sliced bread. This recipe is a keeper.
Adapted for bread machine.
1 cup warm water (115 degrees F)
1/3 cup dark molasses
1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
2 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/3 cups whole-wheat flour
