Place ingredients into the pan of your bread machine in this order: Water, butter or oil, salt, flours, dry milk, bread improver, sugar and yeast. If your bread machine gives a signal to add extra ingredients, wait to add the Harvest Grains Blend until that time, otherwise add in about 2 minutes into the mixing cycle
Program the machine for dough or manual, and press Start
Check the dough about 10 minutes before the end of the final kneading cycle
It should be smooth and supple, not "gnarly."
Adjust the consistency with additional flour or water as needed (Dough should not be sticky)
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl or proofing basket that has been dusted with flour OR
Shape the dough into a loaf, and place it in a lightly greased 8½ x 4½-inch bread pan
Cover the dough with lightly greased plastic wrap or an acrylic dough cover, and allow the bread to rise till it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan (about 1 to 1½ hours)
If you let the dough rise in a bowl or proofing bowl, let it rise 1 to 1½ hours and then gently turn it out onto a lightly greased baking sheet
Bake the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes, or until its interior registers 190°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the bread from the oven, take it out of the pan or off the baking sheet and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf
