I have recently rediscovered my bread maker. Great, a loss of more valuable real estate on the counter! But so worth it. I can’t honestly remember the last time I regularly bought bread at the shops. Home made bread, whether you do it completely from scratch or with the assistance of a bread maker…just so yummilicious! The house smells good, the bread is good – even if it doesn’t come out just right- oh, yes, the taste of freshly baked bread, straight out of the oven with a bit of butter or good olive oil.
\nI have to admit that I love a slice of homemade white bread; it’s like you have died and gone to foodie heaven. It’s what childhood should taste like. White, pure, absolutely delicious. Maybe that is why I love it so much; it symbolizes what I miss, what I hope I gave my children and what I hope to give to my grandchildren.
\nI digress, while I do love white bread and all it has to offer, I also love a fresh-outta-the-oven slice of whole wheat goodness! It is more sensible, right? \u00a0Now the cookbook that came with my bread maker was sadly lacking in everyday recipes…who makes Potato Bread on a regular basis? Or Banana Bread…in a bread maker?? So I sat down at the computer and googled whole wheat bread; I settled on this one from my trusted friends over at Betty Crocker <\/a><-she taught me how to cook, bless her soul! I chose this recipe for Whole Wheat Cranberry Bread <\/a> but have changed it up a few times: once I used Epicures 3 Onion Dip mix and Parmesan Cheese, another time I used Garlic and Italian Herbs…subbing out the Cinnamon and Cranberries, of course. So far they have all been a hit!<\/p>\n

\"whole<\/a>
Grilled Cheese on Whole Wheat Cranberry Bread<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1 cup + 2 Tablespoons Hot Water (70degreesF – 80degreesF)
\n1\/4 cup Honey
\n2 Tablespoons (1 ounce) Butter, cubed
\n2 cups Flour
\n1 1\/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons Salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
\n1\/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
\n2 teaspoons Bread Machine or Quick Active Dry Yeast
\n1\/2 cup Dried Cranberries or Raisins<\/p>\n

Carefully measure all ingredients into the bread pan, in the order listed, except for cranberries – I often use the a bit of this a bit of that regime for making recipes but never for bread! It wants precision.
\nSelect Whole Wheat cycle (on my machine Setting 2)
\nUse Medium or Light Crust colour.
\nDo NOT use delay cycle – Dough cycle is alright.
\nAdd Cranberries when the machine beeps.
\nRemove baked bread from pan and cool on cooling rack.<\/p>\n

\"herb<\/a>

\nAdd flours, salt and ADD
\n1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
\n2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
\nCarefully stir herbs and garlic into the flour without disturbing underlying water.
\nSprinkle Yeast over combined flour mixture.
\nUse the same Whole Wheat Bread cycle (Setting 2 on mine)<\/p>\n
