Machine Bran Bread

Machine Bran Bread
1/2 cup natural wheat bran
1 cup water
1 large egg, beaten
1 1/2 Tablespoon butter or hard margarine
3 Tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon salt
2 5/8 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Place all ingredients in bread pan in order given, or according to manufacturer's instructions for whole wheat cycle, large loaf. 

This is another bread machine recipe I tried. It worked really well - uniformly shaped, even textured, and hearty. This is a really heavy, nutritious bread so one slice is all you need. I may have a slightly smaller bread machine than was designed for this recipe, as my dough overflowed a little when rising, but once it baked it seemed to be fine. Next time I may try the amount for a medium loaf and use the large cycle.
