Mrs. Etheridge's Whole Wheat Bread Recipe

We eat this bread almost every day, and so I have adapted it for the Cuisinart Bread Machine! The main recipe here is specifically for the bread machine, but if you want the original kneading / baking recipe, just scroll down (NB: it's doubled).
Anyway, as you may guess, there is a story here....
Let's just say that Mrs. Etheridge made the BEST BREAD I HAD EVER TASTED and I had to grovel for this recipe back in the 1980s.
She said she had just done it automatically for so many years that she would have to pay attention next time she made it, take note of the quantities, and write them down for me.
And she did!
Thank you Mrs. Etheridge!
