Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread is quickly becoming my favorite dinner bread! I’ve made several loaves of it now, as this version is a healthier rendition of my Parsley Herb Bread. I loved the taste of that bread. However, I wanted to use a wholesome oil instead of shortening, whole wheat flour for part of the flour, and honey instead of sugar in the recipe. All I can say is that it works, works, works! Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread is spectacular.

Granted, I really enjoy thyme and rosemary in any type of savory dish. It certainly works well in home-baked bread as well. The olive oil gives it a much richer taste than mere shortening. I really prefer using honey anytime over sugar for health reasons. I used half whole wheat flour and half bread flour. Then I added vital wheat gluten to the recipe which helps the bread raise superbly. The bread turned out light and fluffy.

This is a wonderful dinner bread that’s great to use for dipping in herbed oil. It’s also a tasty side for Italian or pasta meals. It’s certainly versatile enough to go along with your favorite soup or salad as well. Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread is so tasty, I can eat gobs of it.

This breadmaker loaf takes only 5 minutes to layer into the bread canister. After cooking it on the whole wheat setting, you have an excellent fluffy loaf of bread in about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. This recipe makes a two-pound loaf of bread which will serve about 20 half-slices. If you enjoy home-baked bread, Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread should be on your bucket list of recipes to try. Yum.

Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread is great to use with dipping oils and herbs.

This bread uses healthier ingredients than standard bread machine recipes.

We love a good dinner bread and this recipe is great for soups, salads, Italian or pasta recipes.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients.

Layer ingredients in bread canister in order given. Bake on regular whole wheat setting.

Allow bread to cool 15 minutes after cycle is completed. Butter top and sides of breads to prevent crust from hardening.

Allow bread to cool an additional 15 minutes before cutting down into slices. These slices were awfully large so we cut them in half. I use an electric bread knife to cut the bread and it makes nice, clean slices.

Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread is quickly becoming my favorite go-to recipe for home-baked bread.

This bread is healthy and delicious!

Whole Wheat Parsley Herb Bread is also delightful for breakfast. Just add butter and preserves.

Here’s the recipe.

Calories 128 kcal

Equipment

• 1 breadmaker
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• 1 pastry brush to butter bread after it's finished baking
• 1 electric knife preferred, or a sharp bread knife to slice bread

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 1/2 cups water
• 3 tbsp. powdered milk
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 3 tbsp. honey
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 cups bread flour
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 heaping tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
• 1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 2 tsp. bread machine yeast
• 4 tsp. vital wheat gluten

Instructions

 

• Measure ingredients in the order listed into bread-maker baking pan.
• (You will need one the size for a 2-lb. loaf).
• Bake on whole wheat setting.
• Allow bread to cool 15 minutes before removing from breadmaker.
• Brush tops and sides of bread with butter to prevent crust from hardening.
• Allow bread to cool 15 minutes longer before slicing down.

Notes

NOTE: Home made bread has no preservatives, so after two days you need to refrigerate the bread to prevent mold.

 

NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.

 

NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
