I usually make only whole wheat bread......the recipe is as follows:
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 heaping tbs wheat gluten
1 cup plus 2 tbs water
2 tbs milk
1 tsp salt
1 packet yeast
1 tbs sweetener
1tbs molasses
2 tsp margarine for the corners of the pan
This always used to work just fine but lately it seems as though the dough is too stiff for the motors on the machine.....any suggestions? The recipe ratio of liquid to flour is basically higher than you recommend in your recipes.....sometimes the paddles reverse when it bogs down and sometimes they don't......is that working properly?
You should be using a dough Hook not paddle I have a Kitchenaid stand mixer and it uses a hook for dough paddles offer too much resistance for dough.

I had a similar problem when I switched machines. It seems that most recipes will work in same size machines (1 or 1.5 lb loaf size). My issue was that my old machine had to have liquids in first and then dry ingredients (new machine is the opposite). I ruined several loaves before I figured out the issue. I would have never imagined the order of ingredients would make a big difference.
Good luck!
SOURCE: need recipe for 1 lb whole wheat loaf
I have a very healthy recipe. Makes two loaves so you will have to divide in two.
13 oz. water (warm)
3 3/4 cup stone ground whole wheat flour
1/2 cup steel cut oats
2 T oil
2 T dry milk
2 T vital wheat gluten
3 T honey
1 1/2 t salt
1 T active dry yeast
When machine beeps add if desired:
1/2 cup golden flax seeds
1/4 cup unroasted sunflour seeds or sesame seeds (or both)
Put into machine and go. I usually set it on dough cycle and put into pans for second rise 50min in a warm, draft free area. Preheat oven to 400 place bread in oven after second rise, reduce heat to 375 and bake 30-35 min.
You can find both flour and gluten with Bob's Redmill products
enjoy,

SOURCE: The flour I am using in All purpose - the book
If you want really good bread you need to ditch the all purpose flour. It will always be more dense and short compared to bread flour. Be sure to buy a bag of flour that says "bread flour" on the bag.You will get a more normal looking and tasting bread.

same problem as ddrdouglas - machine worked great for years, lately, mixing cycles slow and even stop. The drive belt doesn't slip, the motor actually stops occasionally during kneading/mixing. The bearings are clean and have free motion, I suspect the motor needs servicing?
