Making Rye and Buckwheat Breads with less All Purpose Flour

I've been making some good Rye and Buckwheat Breads with my Bread Machine.  I need to use at least 60% All Purpose Flour, othewise the Bread does not rise and form well.  I want to make the breads with less percentages of All Purpose Flour.  Is it possible to use Vital Wheat Gluten to accomplish what I want, or will Vital Wheat Gluten only help form and rise Wheat grains?

 

If it is possible, pls reply with some formulas.

 

If not, what else can I use to make good breads with less percentages of all Purpose Flour.

 

Thanks

Here is a link to bread machine information.  I hope it helps.

Your bread machine is geared toward wheat bread, so it's a good observation on your part that you need 60% wheat flour to get a decent loaf.  I think the above link may prove interesting. 

Oats also add an interesting flavor with rye and buckwheat, just remember to maintain the 60% wheat.  Have you tried adding instant potato flakes?
