2 tablespoons water (room temperature)
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1½ teaspoons salt
2 cups bread flour
1 cup wheat flour
3 teaspoons yeast

Instructions

Step 1: Add Ingredients to Bread Machine

In your bread machine pan, add the ingredients in this exact order:

Water
Oil
Sugar
Salt
Bread flour
Wheat flour

Do not mix.

Step 2: Add the Yeast

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the yeast. This keeps it separate from the liquid until the machine starts.

Tips for Bread Machine Success

Use room temperature ingredients for best rise
Measure flour correctly (spoon and level—don’t pack it)
Add ingredients in the correct order – this helps the machine mix and activate everything properly
Keep the lid closed during baking – opening it can cause the bread to collapse
Let it cool slightly before cutting – this makes slicing easier and helps keep the loaf intact

This loaf is perfect for just about everything:

Sandwiches for busy weekdays
Toast with butter and jam
Grilled cheese or melts
A side for soups and casseroles
