Good and Grainy Machine Bread

Good and Grainy Machine Bread
1 cup water
2 Tablespoons hard margarine
2 Tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup natural wheat bran
3 Tablespoons skim milk powder
1 Tablespoon ground flaxseeds
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Place all ingredients in bread machine pan in order given, or according to manufacturer's instructions for whole wheat cycle. This makes one large loaf, although size setting will depend on machine. 

This bread has a good dose of healthy whole grains, therefore it will not rise as high as a whole wheat or white loaf would. Add a little wheat gluten if you would like a higher rise. Skim milk powder is used in this recipe to avoid using perishable milk. It is also easier because skim milk powder is stored at room temperature unlike fluid milk, and this is more cost efficient. 
I apologize for publishing yet another bread (and bread machine at that) recipe so soon, but i promise I will have an awesome cake to show tomorrow.
