Whole grain bread machine loaf turned into a brick last night

Tried a new recipe from a blog that promised fluffy texture with 100% whole wheat. Followed every step, weighed the flour, used fresh yeast. 4 hours later I pulled out something that could crack a window. Turns out the blog forgot to mention you need vital wheat gluten or the loaf won't rise. Had to use the bread for doorstop duty. Anyone else got burned by a recipe that left out a key ingredient?
