Please share your favorite whole grain bread recipes! I am wanting to start baking bread on a regular basis instead of just as a special thing. I have a bread machine but usually only use it for the rising stage. I prefer baking it in the oven. I do sometimes enjoy kneading by hand.
I don't mind other grains mixed in with the whole wheat flour, but want to stay away from bleached, enriched flour.
Thanks!
Patty

I just wanted to bump this up. I am also wanting to start using my Bread Machine again...and I am looking for a TRUE whole grain bread recipe...no bleached stuff. Anyone have a good recipe? The only recipes I have use a mix of white and whole grain flours. Thanks!

Not a specific recipe, but I wanted to plug this book
The Bread Machine Magic Book of Helpful Hints
I've had it out from our library almost the whole summer (renewed twice, returned and checked it out again, until I can buy my own copy)
It does have a lot of good recipes, but also lots of great info about what to do with your recipes to optimize them (adding vital wheat gluten, etc.) and even some gluten-free recipes and low-salt suggestions, etc.
I see on Amazon they also have two recipe books by the same people (and cheap used) but I haven't seen them.
I made a pumpernickel loaf a few weeks ago that was heavenly.

One of my favorites is Denise the Country Baker's recipe, which I wrote about here.
Another one is "velvety bean bread" from two of my favorite authors -- Alford and Duguid -- and their book Home Baking -- their recipe calls for 2 cups white, but I've substituted Montana wheat and got fantastic results:
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
2 cups drained cooked or canned navy beans, at room temp
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)
about 2 cups flour (or freshly-ground Montana wheat)
Dissolve yeast in water. Process beans until smooth. Stir yeast mixture into beans. Add whole wheat flour and stir. Sprinkle on oil, salt and optional chives. Add 1 cup of the other flour and stir, then another 1/2 cup and stir again. Turn out onto floured surface and knead 5 minutes or until smooth. (Or knead in your mixer).
Let rise in a clean bowl (I never heed the "clean" part of this and use just whichever bowl I used for the initial mixing) -- covered, 3 hours or until almost doubled in volume. The dough will weigh about 2 1/2 pounds.
Divide dough in half and shape (this is for 2 small loaves) -- I made one loaf only. Place in loaf panand let rise again until loaf has almost doubled.
Slash dough lengthwise and bake in preheated 400 degree F oven, spritzing the loaf/loaves several times with water the first 5 minutes. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees F and bake for 25 minutes, or until loaves are a rich brown. The bottoms should sound hollow when tapped. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely before slicing.

Have any of you had success with store-bought whole wheat flour? Also, besides using a co-op, any success with order wheatberries and/or whole wheat flour online?
Thx!
