Light Whole Wheat Bread

"Light in texture, color, taste, and calories when sliced thin, this bread makes good tuna, chicken, egg salad, cold meat, or peanut butter sandwiches."

Small Loaf (1 lb.)       Ingredients         Large loaf (1 1/2 lb.)
1 1/2 teaspoons          active dry yeast    2 1/4 teaspoons
1 cup + 2 TABLESPOONS    bread flour         1 2/3 cups
1 cup                    whole wheat flour   1 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon               salt                1 1/2 teaspoons
1 TABLESPOON             vegetable oil       1 1/2 TABLESPOONS
2 TABLESPOONS            honey               3 TABLESPOONS
3/4 cup + 1 TABLESPOON   water               1 1/4 cups

Add all ingredients in the order suggested by your bread machine manual [on my machine, that means yeast, dry ingredients, liquid] and process on the basic bread cycle according to the manufacturer's directions.

[I made this the other night, to see if my bread machine still works. It does. It came out with a nice dark crusty crust, and good 'n chewy (more so than I expected given the "light" name).]
