Simple 100% whole wheat bread

We got this recipe from our neighbor JOhn Condojani and it is my favorite whole wheat bread recipe by far.  Nate makes this in the bread machine and we love love love it.  This recipe works at altitude of at least 6800 feet. This has much better flavor than my other recipe and has less ingredients so easier for food storage.  However, the other recipe is faster and can be used in a pinch. .

This is for one loaf in the bread machine.  It was converted from a 3 loaf recipe.

3 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1.3 oz veg oil (1/6 cup)
1.3 oz Honey (1/6 cup)
1/2 Tbs Yeast
1/2 Tbs Salt
1 1/3 cup warm water

Follow bread machine instructions.
