Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 3 hrs
Total Time: 3 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup water
  2. 1/2 cup peanut butter
  3. 2 tablespoons honey
  4. 3 cups whole wheat flour
  5. 1 teaspoon salt
  6. 2 teaspoons active dry yeast

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, 3 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast.
  2. In a measuring cup, warm the water slightly until it is lukewarm (about 100°F to 110°F). This will help activate the yeast.
  3. In the bread machine pan, add the warm water first. This will help to dissolve the other ingredients more effectively.
  4. Next, spoon in the peanut butter. It’s best if the peanut butter is at room temperature to ensure it mixes well.
  5. Add the honey to the pan, allowing it to flow easily into the mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and active dry yeast. Mix these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the yeast and salt.
  7. Carefully add the dry mixture on top of the wet ingredients in the bread machine pan. Make sure to spread it evenly over the surface.
  8. Close the lid of the bread machine securely. Select the whole wheat bread setting on your machine. Set the crust preference if your machine allows it.
  9. Start the bread machine. The total cycle will take approximately 3 hours.
  10. During the last few minutes of the baking cycle, you may want to check the bread. If you desire a golden crust, you can brush the top with a little melted butter or oil.
  11. Once the bread machine indicates that the cycle is complete, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
  12. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps to maintain the texture of the bread.
  13. Once cooled, slice the bread with a serrated knife. Enjoy your homemade Daks Peanut Peanut Butter Wheat Bread!

Tips

  1. Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your water is precisely lukewarm (100-110°F) to activate the yeast perfectly without killing it.
  2. Room Temperature Peanut Butter: Let your peanut butter sit out for a few minutes before adding to ensure smooth, even mixing.
  3. Yeast Placement: Always add dry yeast last and keep it away from direct contact with salt, which can inhibit yeast activation.
  4. Crust Control: Most bread machines allow you to choose crust color – experiment to find your perfect golden-brown finish.
  5. Cooling is Crucial: Resist the temptation to slice immediately! Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes to set its structure and prevent gumminess.
  6. Storage Hack: Store your bread in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag to maintain freshness for up to 3-4 days.
  7. Pro Serving Suggestion: Toast a slice and spread with extra peanut butter or honey for an indulgent breakfast or snack!
