Description: 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, our start-again method works as an easy alternative.

Sucess 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, we use this recipe only on the regular bake cycle.
