Here...

1 heaped teaspoon Allinson's Easy Bake Yeast
160g Waitrose strong wholemeal flour
360g Waitrose strong white bread making flour
2 dessert spoons olive oil (not heaped, just level like)
2 dessert spoons honey (not heaped, just level like)
1 level teaspoon salt
1 large pinch dried basil
350ml warm water

Bung it in the bread maker on 'wheat' setting for about four hours.

Makes a lovely light 750g loaf.

NB Don't touch the hot loaf bakey thing with your bare hands - you might burn yourself like...  ::)
