add ingredients to your machine in the order it calls for.
if using the bread maker for the whole cycle, bake on the wheat bread cycle. I prefer not to use the machine to bake my loaves...they are awkardly shaped and hard to cut, so i use the machine only for the kneading. :)
so, for dough, set the machine on the dough cycle. It should go through its first rise. After cycle is done, turn dough out on to a floured surface and knead for a few minutes. Put it into a bowl lightly sprayed with non-stick spray and let rise for 1 hour, 'til doubled. Put dough blob into a loaf pan and bake at 450 for 10 minutes, then lower oven temp to 350 and bake about 30 minutes, or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. This makes a smallish loaf that freezes well when sliced.
