The trick to making 100% whole wheat bread in your machine is anextra knead, which gives the yeast and gluten a second chance tocreate a lighter loaf.
When your first knead cycle is completed, simply reset the machineand start again. Some manufacturers produce home bakeries with awhole wheat cycle; if your machine doesn’t have one, this start- againmethod works as an easy alternative.
