Recipes for whole grain bread?

[Cattitude]

I am looking for recipes for good whole grain breads that I can make with my bread machine. We are a bread-lovin’ family, but we only eat whole grain, high fiber bread. I am having a hard time finding recipes that are high in fiber and also taste good (maybe it’s my baking skills ).

Any recipes, ideas, hints, etc are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I just read this recipe in Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition by Marilyn Shannon. I haven’t tried it yet, so I don’t know how it tastes, but I’m sure it is nutritious:

Marilyn Shannon’s Organic Whole Wheat Bread:

3 3/4 cups organic whole wheat flower
2 T wheat gluten (for tender, easily sliced bread)
2 T nutritional yeast (optional)
1 T lecithin (optional, for nutritional improvement)
2 t salt
1/4 cup honey
1-1.5 T bread yeast
1 1/2 C warm water
2 T butter

This should yield a 2-lb loaf

I’d be interested also for some good whole wheat breads. DH hates healthy breads (only likes white), so I dunno if it’s worth making in this house, since we don’t have kids.

I’ve used King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour. It is still whole grain/whole wheat flour and tastes like whole wheat flour, but it is processed somewhat differently so it bakes more like white flour and has a texture more like white flour which makes it easy to substitute in recipies calling for white flour.

I can find it in my local grocery store, but you can also order it from their website.

Try this recipe, I have not tried it but I tend to trust the taste palette of the source! soulemama.typepad.com/soulemama/2008/02/who-bread.html

This is the recipe I use for hard red and hard white wheat - hope it helps!

The King Arthur website has all kinds of informatyion about baking whole grain breads. In fact, they have a whole cookbook devoted to whole grain baking, many of the recipes have been gathered from their site.
The white wheat is super flour; it is somewhat drier than plain flour, so it needs more liquid (in my experience;YMMV). Otherwise, it is such a great addition to the KA flours. KAF is a good company to deal with too.
