Prepare Your Bread Machine: Start by adding the ingredients according to the specific instructions provided by your bread machineโs manufacturer. This typically involves placing the liquid ingredients in first, followed by the dry ingredients.

Set Your Bread Machine: Select the basic or whole wheat cycle on your bread machine. Set the crust preference to medium and press the start button to begin the mixing and baking process.
