  1. I did this on my dough cycle in my bread machine and then baked it in my oven. If you do it this way and with almost 4 cups of flour, make sure you put it in a bigger loaf pan. This is a wonderful, slightly sweet wheat bread and I have to agree with PinkPanther, it did rise very quickly for a wheat bread.
     
  2. Delicious bread with a slightly dense texture. Makes wonderful buttered toast. Also good warmed to go with soup. Thanks.
     
  3. This is the best whole wheat recipe I've ever made in my bread machine. It was light, rose beautifully, and tasted fantastic -- the closest to store-bought texture I've ever made. I did a few treaks: used reconstituted dry milk, used only 1/4 tsp. salt and accordingly lowered the yeast to 2 tsp. because I'm on a low sodium diet, and I substituted 1/2 cup of the bread flour with 1/4 cup flax seed meal and 1/4 cup unprocessed bran. Delicious! I will definitely be making this bread again and again!
     
  4. I was looking for a recipe that I can consume my molasses & whole wheat, and I found this. I used half bread flour & regular flour. Perfect snack due to it's sweet flavor. I like it lightly toasted & put a little bit of butter or cream cheese. Thank you for the great recipe. See the photos (2).
     
  5. This is the most amazing whole wheat bread. I use regular yeast, and it rises more than any other whole wheat loaf I've made. Thanks!

  2. I substituted whole wheat flour for the bread flour just to see if I could get good results. It broke my bread machine (LOL), but it was worth it (I get them for $2 each at my local resale shop). This was so yummy. My kids even loved it and they are partial to white bread. I'm sure they would melt faster than the butter if I made it as written. Thanks for posting this. If I use all whole wheat again, I'll knead it by hand.
     
  3. I have made this several times and just love it. Today I used 3 tbsp of honey instead of the sugar, and replaced a 1/2 cup of the bread flour with a 1/4 cup each of flax seed meal and unprocessed wheat bran. Delicious!
     
  4. I will use this recipe often. The bread turned out perfectly! It sliced thin for sandwiches and smelled heavenly while cooking. I followed the recipe except that I used all whole grain flour and no bread flour (didn't have any on hand), used Smart Balance Spread in place of the butter and I used sea salt for the salt. It was a picture perfect loaf!
     
  5. I followed this recipe except I used Splenda instead of sugar. I used the Basic setting on my machine and the loaf baked up into the handle! Next time I'll use just 2 tsp of yeast and maybe try using olive oil in place of margarine to save calories. This made a delicious, beautiful loaf that tastes great and will be wonderful toasted. Will definitely make again!

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
