I'm trying to find the best bread in the world. I really like a soft but firm, thick-sliced wholemeal bread; it's usually called farmhouse bread here. I've only ever found the exact right bread once, but the last time I had that particular bread, it was kinda funky. Also, I'm trying to get away from bread with a million ingredients, and I want to make my own bread more often. When I make my own wholemeal bread in the breadmaker, it tends to be too tough and dense.
So, does anyone have a recipe for a soft, easy-to-slice wholemeal bread? Double points if it's for the breadmaker, since I'm super lazy.

Have you tried adding soy milk or yoghurt to your dough to soften the crumb? Kamut flour (Dove's farm sells it) also tends to yield a somewhat softer crust, although I usually use no more than 50% kamut. I never buy bread here - I don't want to eat sliced sponge - so I don't know anything specific about farmhouse bread.

I've made the NY Times No Knead Bread with white whole wheat flour and added a tablespoon or so of vital wheat gluten to the mix. It came out really well, was easy to slice, and super tasty to boot.

I am just posting to say I hope someone has a good recipe for you, because I, too, would like one.
Also, I am lazy and use a breadmaker as well, and whenever I've tried deviating from bread recipes I've ended up with a disaster. A hard, unsliceable disaster.

The Reinhart book is good and there are instructions on how to convert a recipe to whole grain (you need a little extra liquid). He also has a wholegrain one, but the method is slightly more labour-intensive than his most recent recipes.

I use the recipe in Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes A Day (another no knead variant) and it's so easy. It's a weekly staple in our house.
