Bread machine programs

Whole Wheat and Whole Grain cycle times

52 printed times across 31 bread machines, from 2 hr 54 min to 4 hr 20 min.

What this program does

Whole wheat and whole grain flours absorb more water and develop gluten more slowly, so these programs add preheating, kneading or rising time. Expect them to run longer than the Basic or White program on the same machine.
