Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread (Low Fat)
"You don't need a lot of ingredients for this bread and it always turns out the same, which is why I love it. From The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna German, who always gives amounts for small, medium and large machine. I'm posting the large recipe."

Made this today and it turned out very nice. I have a Black and Decker that is only a year old and makes massive loaves...this one rose to touch the lid. The only thing lacking was salt...I think this recipe could use another half teaspoon or even another whole teaspoon. I'm going to try this with 4 cups of whole wheat and see how it turns out. Great texture and sliced very nicely after cooling for 15 minutes. -
Love this bread. Comes out perfect every time. My only change was to add a little honey for additional sweetness.

I was really hoping for a great loaf of healthy bread, but this just didn't stack up. I used King Arthur flours and fresh yeast, but I ended up with a small loaf...only half the size of my bread maker pan. The bread tasted fine, but was rather dense and dry. -
Lovely bread. Easy recipe. Will definitely try it again. -
Very dry, and dense. I am not sure if I made it wrong or not, but I definitely needed a glass of water to have a slice.

Very nice. I used honey instead of sugar and made these into rolls. They were really good. thank-you.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
