Honey Whole Wheat Bread
updated 12/12/2025
I was looking for a new wheat bread recipe and found one I liked. I made a few adjustments, including adding baking cocoa to the bread.
Honey Whole Wheat Bread
- 3/4 cup milk, warmed to 90 to 95 F
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp butter, cut in pieces
- 1 Tbsp baking cocoa
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 1-1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp bread machine yeast
Put the ingredients in a bread machine in the order listed. Set the machine cycle for “Dough” and press Start.
After the cycle completes, grease a 9×5″ bread pan. Form the dough into a lozenge and place in the pan. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Bake the bread in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when thumped. Cool on a baking rack.
