Answer 2

You can't make bread in a microwave oven, unless your microwave oven doubles as a convection oven.

Making whole wheat bread is quite a lengthy process as you have to let it rise before you bake it. It's a lot easier if you have a bread machine as it mixes, proofs, and bakes.

But, if you still want to make bread at home, here's a recipe you can use from allrecipes.com. It's rated 5-stars by 109 people.

Answer 4

No you can not make bread in a microwave. You need heat to make it rise. And heat to bake it. Get a book on bread and maybe a machine if you don't want to do it from the beginning. It isn't''t easy to make from scratch in the beginning with out help. It involves timing and temperatures.
