Ingredients
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoon Applesauce
  • 3 teaspoon Brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 tablespoon Wheat germ
  • 1/4 cup Barley flour
  • 4 1/2 tablespoon Oat flour
  • 2 1/4 cup Bread flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Vital wheat gluten
  • 1 package Active dry yeast
Directions
  1. 1
    If using a bread machine, add the water, applesauce, and brown sugar to the pan first.
  2. 2
    Add the wheat germ, barley flour, oat flour, bread flour, vital wheat gluten, and salt on top of the liquids.
  3. 3
    Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the yeast into the well, ensuring it does not touch the water.
  4. 4
    Select the "Basic" or "Whole Wheat" setting on your bread machine. Choose a medium or dark crust setting based on preference.
  5. 5
    Start the machine and allow the cycle to complete. The dough should knead for approximately 10 minutes before rising and baking.
  6. 6
    Once the cycle is finished, immediately remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Note

This recipe is optimized for a standard 1.5 or 2-pound bread machine. If making by hand, mix ingredients until a shaggy dough forms, knead for 10-15 minutes until smooth, let rise until doubled in size, shape into a loaf, let rise again, and bake at 375ðF (190ðC) for 30-35 minutes.

The original source mentions using 2 tablespoons of butter instead of applesauce. If you prefer a richer, non-vegan version, you can substitute the applesauce with melted butter or oil.

Store leftover bread in a paper bag or bread box at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.

If the dough appears too dry during the initial knead, add water 1 tablespoon at a time. If too wet, add bread flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
