100% Whole Wheat Bread

I needed a small job done here at the house and a friend offered for trade of a home-made 100% whole wheat loaf. I've never made one that didn't include white flour to some extent, and I scoured my cookbooks for some leads. Nothing in my library, but I have a few trusted sources for recipes online.  I use King Arthur flour exclusively (after testing I found it to be the best tasting and performing) so it made sense to look on their site first. Voila!

Complete with photos! I made mine in the breadmaker instead of the stand mixer. I added two extra tablespoons of water since it's dry from the winter heater on. I let it do the first rise in there then did the second rise in the pan. It only took 40 minutes to get a good 3" over the top (oops - this was too high! good thing I checked on it halfway through).

I use a glass loaf pan which was a gift from my mother-in-law and it generally cooks quite evenly and quickly. However I think the over-rising extended my cooking time; half of the loaf was outside the pan!

Overall I'm really pleased and will be making this again.
