This 6 ingredients whole wheat bread machine recipe is adapted from the one I found on 100 Days of Real Food. Their recipe wasn’t sweet enough for me so I had to make a couple of changes for us ‘sweet toothes’.
Well, I can’t say that exactly either. It’s not terribly sweet or sweet at all. Just a little something to cut the blah of whole wheat if you know what I mean 😉
Below you will find my exact recipe. Feel free to create your own and share it with me in the comments box below!
Take a look at the video demonstration that I have put together for you as reference.
