Honey Wheat Sandwich Bread

Perfect balance between heart healthy whole wheat and fluffy white, this bread makes great cold sandwiches. From PBJ to ham and cheese, this bread is my go-to. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 2/3 C. water
3 C. bread flour
1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour 
1 T. vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 t. salt
3 T. honey
2 T. olive oil
2 t. active dry yeast

Directions:

Follow your bread machine's instructions for adding ingredients. My machine is a Zojirushi model  BB-PAC20 and the instructions below have been adapted for my machine.

Remove the baking pan from the bread machine and attach the kneading blades. Precisely measure all ingredients and add them to the baking pan in the following order:
1. Water
2. Flour and gluten (make a mound)
3. Salt
4.  Oil and Honey
5. make a depression in the middle of the mound and place the yeast in the depression
*Make sure the yeast does not touch any liquid or the dough may not rise sufficiently.

Insert the baking pan into the bread machine and close the lid. Select the regular wheat course, press Start and let your machine do all the hard work!
