Prepare the Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature to help the yeast work best. Lightly beat the eggs before adding them.
Add Ingredients to the Pan: Starting with the liquids, pour the warm water, melted butter, and beaten eggs into the bread pan. Then, add the dry ingredients on top, starting with the whole wheat flour, then sprinkle the sugar, salt, and finally, yeast. Ensure the yeast doesn't touch the wet ingredients directly.
Select the Sweet Bread Program: Choose program 5 on your Cuisinart Bread Maker, designed specifically for sweet bread. This program adjusts the baking temperature to account for the added sugars and ensures the bread cooks thoroughly without burning.
Choose Loaf Size and Crust Color: If your machine allows, select the loaf size based on the amount of your ingredients and your preferred crust color.
Start the Machine: Close the lid and press start. The bread machine will take care of the kneading, rising, and baking processes.
Cool Before Slicing: Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, turn it out onto a wire rack, and let the bread cool before slicing to prevent it from becoming gummy.
