Best Whole Wheat Bread Machine Recipe

Submitted by Charlie Nonhof

"This is one of our favorite bread machine recipes. It has at least 90% whole wheat. It will rise nicely and have a great texture and flavor. Make sure the bread machine paddles are in the correct orientation (going the same way usually.) It really is best to measure ingredients using a kitchen scale -- it is much more accurate and you will have better results."
