I am trying to locate a bread machine recipe for whole wheat bread. No matter which recipe I use, the bread comes out very dense and dry. I even take it out 20 mins or so before timer goes off.
So...is there such a thing? I always make bread for my husband, now he wants wheat bread for his lunch, any thoughts on this?
Thanks..

Ignatz answered Tuesday March 9 2010, 6:38 pm: Bread machine recipes have to be very precise in their measurements. How much water are you adding? Generally speaking, a bread machine recipe will call for four cups of flour total ( 3 cups white, 1 cup whole-wheat) and 2 cups less one tablespoon total liquid (that includes eggs, milk, water, whatever). If it's coming out too dense, use a bit more water or liquid. Also, sift the flour and use fresh yeast. If your yeast is dead, then the bread won't rise.
I used to make bread too, The one thing I found helpful was to use a little less flour then the recipe said and cook slightly under the temperature it says to put it at.
