Here is a recipe http://www.gbronline.com/jacke/recwheat.htm for whole wheat
bread without milk or eggs. It does have 3 tablespoons of shortening for 2
loaves. If that is too much fat for you, try it without the fat. Fat just
'softens' the dough.

Milk and/or eggs add richness to the dough. Brioche and challa are examples
of 'eggy' breads. French bread (baguetts) have nothing more than flour,
water, yeast and salt.
