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, this start- again method
works as an easy alternative. SUCCESS 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, us this recipe only on the regular bake cycle. CALORIES: 125
