At the grocery store yesterday, they were out of the cheap but healthy bread I like, and I refused to pay the high prices for the other kinds of healthy bread. I came home breadless, believing that we had half a loaf left anyway. We didn't. So in my stubbornness, I reasoned, "No problem. I can whip some up in the Breadmaker. We don't need to pay these high prices for something I can make so easily."
But all the kinds I like to make aren't healthy enough for every day sandwiches. They're very delicious (potato bread, oatmeal bread, rosemary herb bread) but not that tasty with peanut butter or turkey. So I found a recipe I've been meaning to try for multigrain bread, and "whipped" that up (see previous grumpy post).
Do any of you have a good whole wheat bread machine recipe? I never want to make this one again (and I still don't know if it will turn out with my substitutions). Please help me!

sorry, I cant help you here
This is what we typically use, nothing fancy. I got it from the Better Homes and Garden.
Easy Whole Wheat Bread
1 Cup Milk
3 Tbs water
4 tsp honey
1 Tbs butter
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup bread flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp yeast
** I like to add 1 tsp wheat gluten (organic section of grocery store)
** I also like to use whole wheat bread flour which we get from a organic/natural store in the bulk section. And, then I add a little extra water as well.
** Like all bread machine bread it only seems to last a few days before spoiling :-( So, plan accordingly.

I have a recipe that uses all whole wheat (and honey). I may need some reminding, but I can try to get it to you. The loaf is pretty heavy, but it is good.
I think you should try your recipe again, this time using the proper fresh milk powder and a fresh pack of yeast. :)
Use extra wheat gluten, it will help the bread not be so dense.
Also, do you have a costco membership? We buy Natural Ovens Bread there, 2 long loaves for $3. A steal, really. It's that white whole wheat.
