Share your bread machine recipes!!!

[materialsgirl]

Okay, I see from the bread post that several of you use bread machines to make whole wheat bread. Could I be so bold as to ask you all to share your recipes? :9

It seems like anytime I try to make whole wheat bread in my bread machine, it's a total crapshoot - sometimes it turns out nice and soft. Sometimes it's a dense brick (even if I add gluten). I haven't found a perfect recipe yet. So, if any of y'all have a good recipe, please share!

Mine is very simple:

For a small loaf:

1 cp water, room temperature
1 tbsp butter, softened
2 1/3 cp whole wheat flour
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast


If the water is room temperature and the butter is soft, it comes out much nicer. I usually put it in before I go to bed and set it for the "delay" cycle to finish at the same time I get up. That way I can take it out as soon as it's finished and it won't get soggy. Also using the delay cycle allows the water and butter to get to that room temperature.
