100% Whole Wheat Bread

The first thing you may notice about this recipe is the amount of flour it calls for—it’s more than the usual proportion. That is because all whole grain flour breads are naturally more compact than ones that contain some bread flour. For this bread, use the finest grind of stone-ground whole wheat flour you can find. Be sure to use a machine with a Whole Wheat cycle, otherwise your machine will labor too much during the kneading.
