Begin by milling your whole wheat berries. Pour 2 cups of whole wheat berries into your grain mill (such as a WonderMill). Set the mill to a 'bread' consistency setting and turn it on to grind the berries into fresh whole wheat flour. This should yield approximately 4 cups of flour.

Into the bread machine pan, add the warm water, honey, and olive oil. Ensure the liquids are at the bottom of the pan.

Carefully add the freshly milled whole wheat flour on top of the liquid ingredients, creating a layer. Then, add the salt to one corner of the pan and the active dry yeast to the opposite corner. Avoid letting the yeast come into direct contact with the salt or liquids initially.

Place the bread machine pan into your bread machine (such as a Zojirushi Home Bakery Supreme). Close the lid and select the 'Whole Wheat' or 'Basic' cycle, typically for a 2-pound loaf. Start the bread machine.

Allow the bread machine to complete its full cycle, which includes mixing, kneading, rising, and baking. The machine will signal when the bread is done.

Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the hot bread pan from the machine. Invert the pan to release the loaf onto a wire rack. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.
