Honey Whole Wheat Loaf

Sometimes I use my bread machine though I no longer bake in it. Mix this recipe on dough cycle, shape to fit greased loaf pan, into steamy microwave (1 cup water on high for 5 minutes, leave water in microwave (not running ) and add loaf pan covered with tea towel). About 30-45 minutes later, or when it's an inch above the top of the pan, into 375° oven/egg for 15 minutes, then tent with foil for 15 more. This one got a little too dark, but still good stuff!

½ cup water
½ cup milk
¼ cup honey
1-1/2 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1-1/2 cups bread flour(+)
2 teaspoons SAF instant yeast

I got the recipe here. As you can see, I made some changes.

I tried the one I linked to the other day (the Jenny Jones one), but it simply would not rise, even after a very long wait. I finally gave up and baked it anyway. No oven spring either. At least it tasted good. Oh well. Today's loaf was MUCH better! If I were doing it in the egg, I would set it up just like a pizza cook. And don't forget the air gap under the loaf pan. Thanks for looking!
