Excellent for making buns! I used 4 cups whole wheat flour and 1 cup white flour and it's great. To make buns, tear risen dough in half, and then half again and then thirds. Should make a dozen. Then let rise on pan the 45 mins. I uploaded a pic of my whole wheat buns sprinkled with oats. Bake approx 14 mins. Enjoy! -
Most definitely a five star bread! And we love home made bread. I made a half batch as the two of us can only eat so much. Truly am very impressed with this and was simple too. I made as directed except used my dough hook. Made for Spring PAC 2010. Thank you Jane for a wonderful recipe that I will definitely be repeating! :) -
Turned out great. Made one loaf and twelve buns. Used three c. white and two c. white whole wheat. -
So simple and really good! I used 1.5 cups ww flour and 3.5 cups all purpose and mixed it all up i the mixer with a dough hook.They baked up beautifully. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
