100% Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
Ingredients
5 to 6 cups fine-ground whole wheat flour
1 seven gram packet of instant yeast (or two teaspoons)
2 cups water
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 large egg
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted and slightly cooled butter
Directions
1. Place about three cups of the flour in the bowl of your stand-type mixer. Add the yeast. Carefully measure 2 cups room temperature (80 degrees) water. The water should feel cool to the touch. Mix the water with the flour with a dough hook for 30 seconds or until the yeast is dissolved and the ingredients begin to combine.
2. Add the salt, egg, sugar, and butter and continue mixing. Add most of the remaining flour and continue mixing at a medium speed for at least four minutes adding more flour as needed to reach a soft dough consistency. (It is important that the dough be mixed for at least four minutes to develop the gluten.) The dough should clear the sides of the bowl but will be soft, not firm, to the touch.
3. Once the dough is mixed, place it in a large greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or for up to three days.
4. On the day that you would like to bake your bread, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it warm to room temperature--about three hours. The dough should rise to nearly double in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, form the loaves. Coat your hands with flour and gently form a loaf by pulling the dough around itself to create a slightly stretched skin. You may need to coat your hands several times if the dough is sticky. If necessary, pinch the seams together on the bottom of the loaf. Lay the loaf gently in a well-greased loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with the second loaf. Let double again in size, about 11/2 hours.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Once the dough has doubled (the loaf should be very puffy), place the two loaves on a shelf in the top half of the oven, well-spaced so that air can circulate between the loaves. Bake for thirty minutes or until done. The interior of the loaves should register at least 185 degrees when an insta-read thermometer is inserted through the bottom crust. Remove the bread from the pans and cool on wire racks. Let it cool completely before cutting.

Flour is the main ingredient. Usually, wheat bread is made with several parts white flour to one or two parts whole wheat flour. Using ONLY whole wheat flour makes a very heavy bread that doesn't rise easily.

ALL BREAD IS WHEAT BREAD!!!
Honestly. They did a survey and over 50% of the people thought that white bread was not made from wheat. When they asked the president of Wonder Bread about this, he asked, "What do they think we make our bread out of? Cement?"
I think that you meant to ask: "How do you make whole wheat bread?"
Whole wheat bread is made the same way as white bread. A small amount of the regular bread flour is replaced by whole wheat flour. Look in the little recipe book that came with your bread machine. There will be at least one recipe for whole wheat bread. There is often a different cycle that you have to select.
If you are going to do all the work to cook it in your oven, it is hard to believe that you would not do the extra tiny bit of work required to Google the words: whole wheat recipe.

Buy a 5 pound bag of King Arthur Whole Wheat Flour and use the recipe on the bag. You can't make bread without some kind of flour.

Wheat flour, water and salt. Yeast if you don't want a flat bread but id you don't mind then that's all! Anything called bread, muffin and such as flour as the main ingredient. The only funny ones I saw without were some cakes but they could have been called souffles since they were made almost only from eggs!

Wheat bread is a basic white bread recipe, but you substitute about a third of the white flour with wheat flour. The more wheat flour you add, the coarser the bread gets.

Classic Whole Wheat Bread
Submitted by: Chewly
"A tasty, nourishing whole wheat bread that's easy to make."
Original recipe yield: 2 - 8x4 inch loaves.
Prep Time:20 MinutesCook Time:20 MinutesReady In:1 Hour 20 MinutesServings:15 (change)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INGREDIENTS:
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the milk, vegetable oil, whole wheat flour, 1 cup of the all-purpose flour and the salt; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Grease two 8x4 inch bread pans. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into the pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Brush the risen loafs with lightly beaten egg. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
