Linda, you can definitely use the dough cycle on your bread machine to mix, knead and rise a dough like this one. When you take it out of the machine at the end of the first rise, there's no reason to knead it again, only to shape it, and place it in your loaf pan to rise again, as instructed in the recipe. This recipe for 100% Whole Wheat Bread for the Bread Machine is written in just this way and can be a good place to start.
