This Honey Whole Wheat Bread recipe comes together quickly if using a bread maker or bread machine. Most bread maker recipes call for milk powder. The milk powder sometimes affects flavor and texture, but it isn’t essential.

How to Substitute Milk Powder in Bread Maker / Machine Recipes
Here are the three top ways to substitute the milk powder in bread maker recipes:
Simply omit it! Milk powder has a slight effect on the flavor and texture, but it doesn’t have a strong influence. And it doesn’t notable effect the rising ability or crumb of the loaf.- You can substitute dairy-free rice milk powder, coconut milk powder, or soymilk powder. These will still provide that “creamier” finish to the bread. Just use caution if picking coconut milk powder. Many brands contain a little bit of caseinate (milk protein). However, there are several dairy-free brands on the market, like the one pictured.
- Or you can use dairy-free milk beverage in place of the water and milk powder in the recipe. This is one of the options I have in this honey whole wheat bread.

What else do I do after its put in the machine? I’m new to this looking into purchasing a cheap one from Walmart to mix my dough. How long do I cook for and what preheat? Thank you I hope I hear back this recipie sounds amazing!
Hi Hanna, are you asking about further bread machine instructions? They should be included with the one you decide to purchase. The machine kneads, preheats, cooks, etc.
I don;t have instructions for a bread maker given to me. Is there a certain wy to put all the ingredients together?
Hmm, most breadmakers have their own method for if adding the liquids or the flours is best. With ours, we added the flours, made a well, and added the liquids.
Just a note this recipe can’t be soy free if you use vegetable oil. It has soy in it.
There you go – all fixed!
Oh, thank you.
