Directions:
The trick to making 100% whole wheat bread in your machine is an extra knead, which gives the yeast and gluten a second chance to create a lighter loaf.
When your first knead cycle is completed, simply reset the machine and start again. Some manufacturers produce home bakeries with a whole wheat cycle; if your machine doesn’t have one, this start- again method works as an easy alternative.
SUCCESS HINTS: The gluten gives the whole wheat flour the structure necessary for a good loaf. If your market doesn’t stock wheat gluten, try your local health food store. Remember the extra knead. It’s especially important in 100% whole wheat bread. Because of the extra knead, use this recipe only on the regular bake cycle.
