Instructions: 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. Because of the extra knead, use this recipe only on the regular bake cycle.

Some manufacturers produce home bakeries with a whole wheat cycle; if your machine doesnt have one, this start-again method works as an easy alternative.

Hints: The gluten gives the whole wheat flour the structure necessary for a good loaf. If your market doesnt stock wheat gluten, try your local health food store. Remember the extra knead. Its especially important in 100% whole wheat bread.
