My husband loved it, and he eats about a loaf of this bread every week. I did add 1/4 cup gluten, and added the dry ingredients to the foamed yeast in my kitchen aid. I let the machine knead the dough for at least 5 minutes so it is light yet dense enough to use in sandwiches. The loaves do not rise very high though, but it's still very good. Thank you!

Ok if you don't have a REALLY good bread machine beware! This dough was SO solid it sounded like it was ripping the "heart" out of my new $500 professional grade bread machine! It was having SUCH a hard time mixing it that I unplugged it immediately and threw the chunk of "cement" away. I followed the recipe EXACTLY. I will not try this again!

I just made this and and it was really good. It didn't raise as much as I would have liked, but I don't always have the best luck. It did taste great and wasn't as heavy as other wheat breads that I have tried. I used olive oil and 1/4 cup honey in place of the sugar and added some wheat gluten. I always use my machine to mix dough and then bake in the oven. I will definitely try this one again.

This was my first ever bread machine loaf and it was perfect. I usually don't eat the heel but that was the best part! I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe baffles me. There is nothing in it to help the bread to turn out light, nothing in it to avoid the dense loaves that are common with homemade 100% whole wheat bread. Most people used gluten, but even though I did, mine just doesn't rise high enough or turn out light enough. I have tried increasing the yeast amount and other things (I also proofed my yeast.) I use fresh ground white whole wheat. I really liked it the first time, and have made it several times, but I just wish it would rise HIGHER and have more appeal once the "fresh out of the oven" appeal is gone. My boys eat this all right, but even though they only eat whole wheat bread, this is not their favorite.

A wonderful 100% whole wheat bread. I do use 1/4 cup of wheat gluten and 1/4 cup of honey, since I prefer my wheat bread a bit sweeter. I use the dough setting on my bread machine~remove and shape into loaf in 9x5 bread pan,let rise and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. My husband loves this bread and he is not a big fan of whole wheat bread. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is only the 2nd recipe I've tried since getting a Sunbeam bread machine. I rated it 3 stars because although the bread has a pleasant flavor and was easy to assemble, it is extremely dense. I was expecting a lighter bread. I sub'd olive oil for the margarine and added 1 Tbsp. of gluten. I used coarse kosher salt. I used the dough cycle to prepare the dough, then turned it out onto a greased countertop and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I put it in the greased bread pan and let it rise for an hour. Then I baked it at 330 degrees (dark nonstick pan) for 30 minutes. It just never did rise very high. Since I'm new to breadmaking I'll probably try some more whole wheat recipes before I attempt this one again.

This is a great recipe. I make is weekly now and use it for sandwich bread. I substitute olive oil for the butter and add 1 TB vital wheat gluten. Sometimes I sprinkle in a tablespoon flax seeds as well. While the bread is warm, I brush the top lightly with olive oil to keep the crust soft. Thanks for a great recipe.

The first time I made this in my bread machine, it came out small and very dense. I tried it again using the whole wheat dough cycle. I kneeded it some when it came out and put it in a bread pan, let it rise till double in size. Forgot about it and it rose a LOT above the pan. Still came out very good, but way too tall to fit in the toaster!!! All my family loved it. I did add the 1/4 cup gluten flour also. I am going to try to make hamburger buns next. If you are going to eat bread, it must be 100% whole wheat or from what the nutritionists say, you are eating a slice of sugar. Thanks for the recipe. 6/11/07 I have been making this bread almost every day now. When I have all the ingred. out, I make bread baggies with all the dry ingredients in each baggies except for the flour. Now I only have to put the water in the bread machine, add the 3 cups flour, pour in my baggie of dry ingred., add butter, pop in the bread machine, set for ww dough and in two hours I can plop it in a bread pan, let it rise for about 45 min and bake at 350 for about 25--30 minutes. This is the only bread my 1-1/2 year old grandaughter wants to eat :) Gotta go make bread, thanks... p.s. If you want to use honey, just don't add the sugar to the bread baggies and add it when you add butter:)

I usually do wheat bread with only 1/3 whole wheat flour, because I don't like whole wheat bread that much, but this bread was excellent. It isn't too dense, and it is quite moist. I make bread a few times a week, and my husband said this is the best I have ever made. I made it by hand: proofed the yeast, let rise 1 1/4 hours, then formed into loaves and let rise about 45 minutes. Baked on 350 for 30 minutes.

Holy cow! This is everything that whole wheat bread should be! My only change was to use butter instead of margarine, and I added 1/4 C vital wheat gluten, per other reviewers. It is SO light and fluffy. Delicious!

This is a very good recipe, What I did was added splenda instead of sugar, I added 2 tsp of yeast and proofed it first. I find proofing the yeast makes the bread a little lighter.

I tried this recipe (my first yeast bread - I used instant dry yeast) and it came out perfect and I didn't even use a bread machine. Just put all the ingredients in a bowl and kneaded. Allowed it to rise an hour, kneaded again, let it rise in a greased pan another hour, baked for 50 minutes and had the most glorious bread ever. It was soft and heavenly. Slicing it was a "moment". I don't know what took me so long to bake bread. The recipe was perfect, especially for a beginner like me.

VERY good 100% whole wheat bread! I baked mine in the oven (375 for 25 minutes) after processing it in my bread machine and it turned out great EVEN when I once forgot to add 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten! This one's a keeper :)

EUREKA!!! I bake a lot of bread, and am trying to move my family to 100% whole grains. This recipe works! I added 1/4 cup vital gluten, and the loaf rose beautifully. I mixed it in my bread machine on the dough cycle, then put it in a stoneware pans for a second rise and to bake. It is lovely and tastes great. Thanks!

This bread is going to replace my store-bought bread. I actually like that it's dense, as it keeps me full. I left out the sugar and added a 1/2 cup of flaxseed. Very nice!
