100% Whole Wheat Bread

Place all ingredients, in the order listed, into your bread machine. Turn machine to dough setting and start.

When the machine finishes, punch down the dough and turn it out onto the counter (you can lightly flour your counter if the dough is a touch sticky). Flatten the dough and pat it into a rectangle about the length of your loaf pan.

Fold the bottom 1/3 of the rectangle up and then fold the top 1/3 down to slightly overlap at the middle seam. Pinch the seam a bit to seal. Flip it over and place it in the greased loaf pan.

Cover with a light towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until it is an appropriate “bread” size.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 F. Bake the risen loaf for 26-30 minutes or until nicely browned and it sounds hollow when you tap on it.

Remove it from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
