honey wheat bread

Honey wheat bread

I'm working with a new piece of kitchen equipment -- a Zojirushi bread maker -- and it's making me think a lot about my mom, Margaret Juzwik, who made six loaves of bread each week to feed the six mouths in our family. Indeed, she gave me the bread machine as a Christmas gift. It has occasioned a bread-making exploration in the past few weeks, a great winter past-time.  Here's the most recent effort, which worked well. It's a hit with Maudemarie, Elliot, and Lydia.

1 1/2 cups water
3 cups white bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cut nutritional yeast
4 generous tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons powdered milk
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons butter
3 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Pour it all, in order, into the bread machine and voila!
