Bread is a versatile staple for a reason: it can be eaten on its own, or it can be paired with various ingredients like meats, cheeses, jams, and jellies to make a quick and easy meal. Instead of buying processed bread that contains additives and preservatives that are bad for your health, you can learn how to make whole wheat bread from scratch so you can bake fresh bread whenever you want.

If you’re new to baking, try this simple recipe for whole wheat bread.
Ingredients:
Yeast is a living organism. It’s important to accurately measure the temperature of your liquid because it directly influences the yeast activity as it dissolves the yeast granules.
Use a thermometer to determine the correct liquid temperature for the yeast. Any thermometer will do, as long as it measures temperatures between 75-130 F.
Steps (traditional baking):
To save time, use a bread machine. This is also a good alternative if you have difficulty kneading dough with your hands.
When using a bread machine, you need to add the liquids first, then the dry ingredients. Add the yeast last. But before adding the yeast, make a shallow indentation in the dry ingredients, then pour the yeast into the hole.
This will prevent the yeast from coming into contact with the liquid ingredients, which will prevent the yeast from being activated too early in the bread machine cycle. Use liquids with a temperature of 80 F if you’re going to use a bread machine. (Related: Powerful survival food: How to make your own Bannock, a leavened bread made with oats and flour.)
