Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hi, Pat, thanks a lot for the recipe. I've thrown away so many blocks of solid rocky wholewheat bread, containing the best of the best and the costliest organic ingredients, that at some point I've stopped trying. My Hitachi doesn't have a whole wheat cycle, but the people from whom I bought it swore it can do it, and they made me taste one made in the exhibition where I bought it. I don't know how they did it. I tried the recipe they suggested, even the brand of flour they suggested, different amounts of yeast, nothing! It works fine when I put 1/3 white flour, but 100% wholewheat is never edible, and if I do try it I have stomach ache for a day. So I'm really looking forward to try yours. By the way, if you can't knead because of arthritis, but don't want to use the machine, why don't you use the food processor? It works fine, and I know many people who don't do it any other way! By the way, you might want to check out a site with more than 250 yeast bread recipes, both conventional and machine. Of course it's a company selling yeast, but we can substitute any other brand for it. Here is the link to Hearty and healthy, including wholewheat with a little white in it. http://www.breadworld.com/recipes/recipes.asp?dough=Machine & style=Healthy+an d+Hearty Here is a note taken from them: Some bread machines have a whole wheat or whole grain cycle, which comes in handy when making whole grain breads. If your machine does not have this cycle, try adding gluten to whole wheat, whole grain, and rye bread recipes to improve loaf height, texture and structure. Use 1 tablespoon for both 1 and 1-1 / 2 pound recipes. If your supermarket does not carry gluten, check with a health food store.

Yes, this would be an idea, thanks. But I'm (now) spoiled: put in ingredients, plug in machine, push a button..... go away and do something else. Voila! Bread in four hours... > > By the way, you might want to check out a site with more than 250 yeast >bread recipes, both conventional and machine.
