Bread machine whole wheat bread falling apart. Help?!

I see much advice here for hand-made bread, but not so much for machine bread. It seems the more whole wheat I use, the looser it gets! I hand-grind hard red wheat, twice, with a bit of spelt and flaxseed sprinkled in. I am only using half whole wheat and half bread flour! Does anyone know what is causing it to not hold together? I keep trying different things but have not found a good solution, save to reduce the whole wheat, which is not what I wanted to do. It rises fine and tastes fine, but you can hardly pick it up without it disintegrating. Thanks for any advice! |

Perhaps you need to use slightly less flour - it sounds like it might be a bit dry. I find that my loaves turn out so much better when the dough is wet and soft, yet doesn't stick to everything. I do not use a bread machine though, so I am not sure how that would be different. |
