I went the bread-machine route, went through quite a few bread machines (starting with a $10 one from the local thrift store), but eventually got a Zojirushi that's lasted more than a decade (300ish loaves / year). It took me quite a few tries to come up with a 100% whole wheat bread that made decent for-sandwiches slices. Here's that recipe. FWIW, metric makes it easy to scale up and down (if you know that a ml of water weighs 1g).

207-235ml Water (depends on machine and brand of WW flour)
42g (2Tb) Honey
28g (2Tb) Butter
350g (2⅓-2½C) WW Flour
6g (1tsp) Salt
12g (¼C) Powdered milk
4g (1tsp) Yeast

Wet ingredients first, then flour. Spread flour so no water shows. Add remaining dry ingredients, then yeast

Hope this helps someone. Pretty nice to wake up to the smell of baking bread in the morning...
