Honey and Whole White Wheat Bread

Whole White Wheat Bread with real butter

So a while ago I discovered that I'm kind of allergic to some soy by-products.  And once you start reading labels on bread it is just amazing how much soy is used.  Besides the fact that it simply tastes better, I now try to bake my own bread even more often.

I use a bread machine.  Usually just to mix the dough and let it rise.  I then form it and put it in a bread pan and let it rise again.  Why?  Well, I don't like the holes in the bottom of the bread that the mixing paddles leave.

I then bake it in the oven for about 40 minutes at 180C or 350F.  This is for a 1 kilo/ 2 pound loaf.

Here's the recipe:

1 cup + 2 tbsp       warm water
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp    honey ( I used wild flower honey)
1/4 cup                 vegetable oil
3 2/3 cup              white whole wheat flour
1 tbsp                  dough enhancer
2 tsp                    salt
2 tsp                    vital wheat gluten
1 3/4 tsp               instant yeast

I brushed some milk on top just before baking and pressed some sesame seeds in to the crust.
