I needed three loaves of bread so I tripled this recipe and made it by hand instead of w/ the machine. I did alter just a couple of things. I cut the white flour down to 2 c. and added 1/2c. of rye flour and I used flax seed oil instead of the veg. oil. Otherwise, when I did knead it, it seemed to need more white flour than was called for in the recipe but then I was making it by hand. My Aunt who taught me how to make bread always said to stick two fingers into the dough and if they don't come out "sticky" you're done kneading. The loaves turned out wonderful with great texture and flavor and they rose beautifully! I think I've found a new, favorite recipe.
