Basic Bread Machine Bread

For my first post, making a basic bread seems appropriate. We love the simplicity of our Zojirushi bread machine. A bread slicing guide is a must have. Once the bread is cooled, slice and place into a container. After our first loaf of bread a few years ago, we scavenged our kitchen for a suitable container. We found our infrequently used cake container flipped upside down worked great. Still using it almost 4 years later!

Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 and 1/4 teaspoons
1/4 cup expeller pressed canola oil or olive oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions:
Place warm water, sugar, yeast in bread machine pan. Let yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes. Add oil, flour and salt to yeast. Select Whole Wheat setting, and press start.

Allergy/Intolerance background:
After reactions to dairy-free (e.g,. sour dough) bakery and restaurant bread, we had to make our own bread to ensure that no dairy products touched the bread our child ate. We quickly discovered our child cannot tolerate any foods made in facilities that also process dairy. Read the labels closely if choosing store bought products.
