Bread machines. Blah. Hand kneeded bread. I make it all the time. The first (fresh) loaf goes fastest. And I experimented with whole wheat and honey and got it down pretty good. Now I'll read your recepies.

Sounds like an ordeal Rog-I have a 20 year old commercial Vita-Mix that I drop whole wheat berries in, grind them to fresh flour, add my honey, yeast and water mix which has already risen-crank the Vita Mix for another minute or two, plop it into my covered, stone baking dish, let it rise, beat it down and let it rise again and bake it. Light airy whole wheat bread every time. Actual work time about 10 minutes
And the variations are endless-my cranberry, walnut, pistachio or jalapeño & cheddar are killer.
I balked when I bought the damn thing, cost around $600 in the early 90s, but it is an amazing appliance. It turns so fast, you can make hot soup in it with just your ingredients and broth in 5 minutes-or fruit, 1/2 & 1/2 and a little sugar and ice, ice cream and I mean killer ice cream in a few minutes-like nut butters, pecan and walnut, wow. Post work out shakes or smoothies, I mean it's amazing.

Used to make bread all the time, especially when I lived up north and it was cool out. Would love to have a bread machine.... BUT I'd end up weighing 500pounds. So that's out.

I use a Vitamix to grind wheat berries ( a 25# bag of Great River is now up to $1.20 a pound and rising at Amazon. Food inflation will destabilize the world.) I knead using a big ass stand mixer.
I make a pretty decent powdered milk and honey whole wheat loaf by adding a few tbs of gluten and one of lecithin to each loaf. I get good results by letting the kneaded dough sit overnight in a real cool place to soften the wheat. To wake the yeast up the next day, I nuke a couple of cups of water and then put the pans in the microwave with it for moist heat.

I think you have an appliance fetish dude like I love flashlights(and guns and glass)-if I had 2....they don't make the one I have anymore, it's all stainless with chrome and bright red lettering, very retro. I think even Mother Sup would let you keep this on the counter.

Bread machines are too homo.
Read, "Artisan Bread in 5 minutes".
All you need (WITHOUT ANY KNEADING):
* 6-1/2 cups flour
(NOTE: either 1) 6-1/2 white, 5-1/2 white and 1 semolina, or 5-1/2 white with 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 rye)
* 3 cups water
* 1-1/2 tbsp yeast
* 1-1/2 tbsp coarse salt (in a pinch, you can use semen, I suppose)
440 degrees for 30 minutes with some water-in a pot in the oven - 1/9/13, 6:51 PM

The secret to tasty whole wheat bread is to add millet. Depending on the size of the batch, I add anywhere from a half cup to a full cup of whole millet.
I can make really fantastic whole wheat sourdough bread. Unfortunately, I can't eat the stuff any more. - 1/9/13, 7:18 PM

No knead dough is too sticky for my taste. It's like touching liver in a non-Portnoy way.
