Easy and Delicious Whole Grain Bread Recipe using Bread Machine

This is a super easy Whole Grain / Multi-Grain bread recipe that's almost fool-proof. It makes a 1 1/2 lb loaf (approx. 12 slices). If you use the optional grains (Flax, Chia Seeds, Hemp Seeds, and Sunflower Seeds) you may have to add another tablespoon of water. Just keep an eye on the dough while it's mixing. I pretty much just dump in the ingredients and forget about it. It's been very consistent in my Welbilt. I can get this loaf going in just a few minutes and the machine takes care of the rest. Best of all, the bread tastes great too. It's a struggle to keep everyone from cutting it up before it cools.
