I upped the water quantity on a loaf today and it came out really good! The original recipe called for only 1 cup of water for three cups of flour, when white flour used. I upped it to 1 1/4 cup when using all whole wheat, but it was still too dense. Today I used 1 1/2 cups of water and it came out fantastic, with even the texture good. I think when the dough was denser, the kneading function of the breadmaker worked out ok and made the texture turn out ok.
