1 egg (optional)
2 1⁄2 cups fresh milled flour
(300g)

1⁄4 honey (85g)
1 egg (optional)
3 3⁄4 c fresh milled flour (450g)

1 1⁄2 tsp salt (7g)
2 1⁄4 tsp INSTANT yeast (7 g)

Bread Machine: Mill your flour just before using it in this recipe for the most nutrient dense flour. Add all ingredients EXCEPT YEAST to bread machine in order listed and choose basic white cycle or dough cycle, and let mix until incorporated. Turn off bread machine. This is the autolyze period. Let the dough sit to absorb moisture and soften bran for 15 minutes to 3 hours. I typically autolyze for 45 minutes to an hour. ADD INSTANT YEAST and choose a basic white cycle or whole wheat cycle. Check your ball of dough a few minutes in to check to be sure all ingredients are incorporated and your dough looks smooth, not too sticky, wet, or dry (see video).
Dough Cycle: You can also use the dough cycle to make this bread! Instead of choosing a basic bread cycle after adding the yeast, choose the dough setting cycle. When the dough cycle has completed in 1.5 hours, punch down dough and turn out onto counter. Shape into a loaf and place in to a well-oiled loaf pan. Let rise for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the dough is peaking over the edge of the loaf pan. Bake in 350 oven for 35 minutes. ENJOY!!

I live in the Pacific Northwest and am brand new to FMF- I made the 1.5 pound loaf and it turned out perfectly! I omitted the vital wheat gluten as didn’t have any but used 1.5 TBSP of lemon juice as I’ve read by many people the addition of this acid helps gluten development and make a soft crumb- prefect loaf! I added about 1.5 TBSP of flour to the kneading cycle – thank you for your time to make this video
I love this recipe. Just wondering if I can go ahead and bake it in the bread machine? It’s summer and I use my oven sparingly!
I’m new to FMF. I have made this recipe several times and it turns out perfect every time.
Thank you! This was the best loaf I’ve made with FMF in the bread machine. It will now be my go to recipe. I really appreciate you showing how you did the autolyze for the recipe. I’ve not found another one that explains it so well with the recipe for the bread machine.
