Ingredients proportions in a whole wheat bread recipe...?
So I am feeling really creative and I want to make my own bread recipe today. I'm wondering about proportions...I am just wanting to make a pretty basic whole wheat bread (nothing fancy lol) Would a good proportion for one loaf be about 1 cup liquid to 3 cups flour??

KA has a recipe for a single loaf here. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/100-whole-wheat-sandwich-bread-recipe Dave
Many times I will review recipes that people have judged as good and see if there are any commonalities about the ratio of ingredients and techniques they use. Then I will develop a recipe of my own, picking the characterisitcs I want and try it out. If it turns out-GREAT! Then I will try and repeat it to see if it works again. Or I will tweak and try again. SOmetimes it is not the ingredients but the techniques used that make a big difference.
So-review some recipes and try your hand.You will make a lot of bricks,crumbs and some very good loaves.It's great fun.
Anyone have a good recipe for light and fluffy WW bread? All the ones I've tried have come out heavy!
