Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (120g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons (9g) salt
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons (5g) active dry yeast

Instructions:

  1. Place warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt in the bread machine pan.
  2. Add the all-purpose and whole wheat flour on top.
  3. Make a small well in the flour and add the active dry yeast.
  4. Choose the basic bread setting on the bread machine and set the crust preference to medium.
  5. Press start and let the machine handle the mixing and kneading.
  6. After about 5 minutes, check the consistency of the dough. It should form a smooth ball.
  7. Allow the machine to complete the first rise; it usually takes about 1 hour.
  8. Once done, remove the dough from the pan and shape it into a thick round.
  9. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven, cool on a wire rack, and slice to serve.
