Whole Wheat Breadmaker Bread 

Whole wheat bread cycle (NOT rapid bake)

Put ingredients into bread machine pan in the the following order: 
7 1/2 ounces water, 80 to 90 degrees 
1 egg, slightly beaten 
1 Tbsp. molasses 
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar 
3 1/4 cups Whole Wheat flour 
1 1/2 Tbsp. dry milk powder 
1 1/2 tsp. salt 
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine 
2 tsp. yeast 

Put the pan in to the bread machine and bake according to the directions. Or if you have no directions, pick a cycle that seems to fit – I would say Whole Wheat bread, but not the rapid bake, a crust colour if you have that option, and let it go to work. My machine takes about 4 hours or so to make the bread.

We store our finished bread on the counter top, just in the open air. Once it is cut, we simply stand the load on it's cut side on a cutting board, and leave it like that. It stays pretty fresh for three or four days like this, although it does have a 'crusty' crust. I should give credit for this to Mr. Chef, as this is how they store bread in the kitchen.
