Maple Wheat Bread for the Bread Machine

I recently bought a new bread machine, and this was one of the recipes included in the instruction booklet.I've made this particular recipe twice,once on the basic bread cycle and once just using the dough cycle and finishing up in the oven.I personally prefer using just the dough cycle,after baking in the oven the crust doesn't seem as hard as it did using the basic cycle.I've tried a few recipes from this site for wheat bread and they weren't exactly what I was looking for,but to me this one is just perfect.Prep time is an estimate depending on your particular machine. If you try this,please leave a review I would love to know what you think. For our Canadian Chefs, I have included the amount of The Canadian Bread flour in parenthesis.This recipe makes a 1.5 loaf.
