Could someone give me a really good healthy whole grain bread recipe for the bread machine?

'm looking for a really good whole grain bread recipe. It MUST be light and fluffy on the inside, I really dont like when bread turns out too dense





Thanks in advance!Could someone give me a really good healthy whole grain bread recipe for the bread machine?
Yes, first link in ';sources,'; but you can get better results if you'll use the bread machine only for the dough. Hear me out.





King Arthur Flour's classic 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread (second link in ';sources';) is the bread you want, but it's not one you should BAKE in the bread machine. Bread machines don't shape loaves of bread really well, and they can't give you ';ovenspring'; -- when you put a loaf of proofed dough into a hot oven, the heat makes the yeast go crazy and gives it a very big boost, giving big rise. The bread machine heats gradually, and you don't get as much spring out of it.





You can make this bread using the ';dough'; cycle on your bread machine, then shape it, let it rise again (proof), and bake it in a hot oven to get really nice results. But if you try to bake this in a bread machine, it won't rise as high, so it will be more dense.





If your schedule or needs require that it bake in the machine, you'll want the first recipe. It won't be as fluffy and light as a loaf that's properly shaped and proofed and put into an already-hot oven, but it'll be tasty.
