100% Whole Grain Wheat Bread

This is a great recipe! I searched the internet looking for a 100% whole wheat recipe with great reviews to use in my bread machine, but didn't have much luck. I decided to just give this one a try in my bread machine and it turned out great! I did make a few minor adjustments. I cut the recipe in half since I just needed 1 loaf. I put the water, yeast, and 1 TBS of Brown Sugar (not in the recipe but added it in) into the machine and let it sit for 10 minutes. I added the wheat flour and other ingredients except for molasses because I didn't have any. I set my machine to the wheat cycle and let it go. It turned out perfect. This was my first attempt at wheat in my machine and I am very pleased! The bread came out perfect and is very moist and fluffy. Thanks for the recipe!

I would give this 10 stars if I could. I have never made a 100% whole wheat bread without it being heavy or crumbly until this recipe. I have been searching recipes for a long time and this is the recipe I have been searching for...light, fluffy, not crumbly, stores well, great sandwich bread, and easy to make. It prepares so quickly it is amazing. Tastes great the way it is or you can subsitute different types of sugar for the molasses and honey, different grains of flour, etc. I changed the setting to one loaf, prepared it as directed but mixed it with the dough cycle on my bread maker...let it rise once, pushed it down, and rose again in the baking dish - it came out perfect. I have an older oven and does not keep the temperature good so I tent mine with foil while baking and use a thermometer to ensure 190 degrees before taking out of oven. Makes great buns too...just divide dough into 12 pieces and reduce the baking time a bit. Thanks for this recipe!

2 Thumbs up! I was finally successful in making a whole wheat bread! I made an old fashioned stew to go with it and it was perfectly delicious. I never changed anything in the recipe and when it was all said and done; slathered it with butter! Perfect, thank you ? small note: I never used a mixer ..all done by hand.

I've been making bread for over 40 years and this is the best whole wheat recipe ever. Not only is it tasty with a great consistency, but it is very easy to mix.

I am finally reviewing this bread after making it for 7 years. It is so delicious and is the only bread we eat! My kids didn't even know you could buy bread at the store because we don't. My husband is very active and can't get full on two sandwiches of store bought bread and loves that this fills him up. I use a Kitchenaid with a dough hook. When it is done raising I just leave it in the mixing bowl and put a glass lid from a pot over top. That way I don't have to dirty another bowl and I can see how much it is raising. It literally takes 5 minutes to make this bread and that includes milling the wheat flour. The taste is amazing, especially when it is warm! It freezes very well too. We also like to put slices on a cookie sheet with butter and garlic salt and broil it to have with pasta dishes. Much healthier than the store bought garlic bread.
