I made eight large breadsticks out of this and they turned out perfectly. I'm picky about my wheat bread as I grew up on grocery store white, but this was wonderful. I could easily eat this everyday. Oh, and I had to "make" buttermilk by adding 1 1/2 T vinegar to the milk, but everything else was to the letter. Thank you!!

This bread is delicious! I added another 3/4 cup or so of flour (both wheat and white) because the dough was sticky. I didn't use a bread machine, and just combined all ingredients and kneaded in a stand mixer for about 10 minutes. I let it rise for a little more than 1 hour, then baked for 25 mins. It came out so moist, soft and sweet. Just be sure to add a little extra flour. Great recipe!!

It was an okay bread. Nothing special. It is not worth five stars. A tip for others, follow the recipes EXACTLY! DO NOT ADD MORE FLOUR! I tried to do this, and ended up doubling the recipe because adding more flour made the dough too dry.

Really good bread. My daughter had it with a little butter for afternoon snack. I would say next time I will cook on the light crust setting it was a little to brown.

I am making this recipe for the first time, chiefly because I had some buttermilk that needed to be used up. I am an experienced baker from scratch, and I intended to bake it in the oven in a loaf pan. I am used to "tweaking" recipes, but I didn't add more flour to the mixture, even though it seemed very soupy. It has been sitting for the first rising for about 1 hour and 20 min. and it is rising a little, but I don't see how I can form it into a loaf. I have a bread machine, but I doubt very much if the results would be any different. I looked back to see if somebody had found out the original author had submitted the wrong amount of flour. I used good bread flour, not all-purpose, and good WW flour. I make two loaves of wheat sandwich every week (good for toast) and that uses 3 C. of WW flour and 3 1/3 C. of bread flour. This makes one loaf- shouldn't this call for about half that amount of flour in one loaf? I hate to think I wasted the ingredients, let alone the labor. I mixed it up in my Kitchen Aid too, as one of the other reviewers did. What is wrong here? If it doesn't do better in another half hour, I'll probably try a different recipe. You have a great site- but this recipe so far is a disappointment.

Very good, but the directions for baking are a bit off. This bread is very crumbly. I baked it for about 40-45 minutes in order to bake it completely. I'm glad I made the dough in the breadmaker and then baked in the oven. I have a good breadmaker, but I'm not sure how it would have done with this loaf. I made my own buttermilk with lemon juice (1 tbsp per c of milk). Thanks for the recipe!

This is a very nice loaf. The only change I make is to use melted butter (not margerine) in place of the oil. I use my bread machine set on basic/medium, and it comes out with a nice crust. For those who mentioned it as more batter like or too soft a dough, this is common in all bread making. Depending on the temperature, moisture in the air and moisture content of your flour, the dough will have a slightly different consistency each time you make it. For this reason, always check your dough after a couple of minutes of kneading in the bread machine, adding more flour if needed until the dough is soft but not too sticky and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Add just a small amount of flour at a time as this bread does well with a soft dough and too much flour will make it heavy.

This is a delicious bread. I never use a bread machine, just my two hands and my kitchenaid mixer, and this recipe was wonderful for both. Little sticky when you go to shape it, but don't be tempted to dry it out with too much flour...it cooks up nicely.

A good basic and moist wheat bread recipe. I followed another reviewer's directions and these are the changes I made: let the yeast mix in 1/2 cup water (105 degrees) with 1 tbs sugar, reduced the buttermilk to 1 cup, added 1 tbs gluten (since I had it and it seems to make my wheat breads taste a bit better) and let it rise in the oven with the oven light on. I kneaded it in my kitchen aid with the dough hook for around 4 minutes before it overheated and gave off some wierd smell. But that aside, it was kneaded enough and then I let it rise. It did rise slower then my other breads but it came out perfectly, dome shaped, and a nice brown crust. I did bake it for 20 minutes at 350 degrees instead of 25 minutes. It was very moist and tasty. Thanks to the OP.

Really good. I followed another reviewer's advice and proofed the yeast with a 1/2 cup of water and a little sugar. I then reduced the buttermilk by 1/2 cup. I did have to add a little bit more flour and it seemed really sticky but I let it rise, punched it down and baked it and it was great. A few friends stopped over and they thought it was great. I will definitely make this again. This recipe is great alone or I bet it could be a really great base recipe too. I bet you could add sunflower seeds, oatmeal, etc.

I don’t have a bread machine but made this recipe with the same ingredient amounts. I proofed 1 pkg of yeast with warmed-up the buttermilk, which I made using 1 Tbsp of vinegar and the rest fat-free milk for 10 minutes. Next, I add all the wet ingredients to the milk mixture. Then, I mixed the dry mixtures into my mixer and poured the milk mixture and mixed using the paddle attachment. Next, I used the hook attachment and ‘kneed’ for 4 minutes. Took out the dough and hand-kneed with a little flour and placed in an oiled bowl and let rise for 1 hour. Punch down and shaped into 12 balls. Placed the 12 pieces into a 13x9 glass pan and let rise for another hour. Baked at the recommended, 25 minutes at 350 degrees. This bread was moist and tender. It tasted great with or without butter. The left-over bread was stored in the refrigerator, wrapped in aluminum foil and then in plastic wrap. The next day, it was still moist and tender and I didn’t even have to toast or heat it. I will make again and again! DH couldn’t believe it was wheat bread!

The first time I made this, it was good, but not anything special. The second time, I cooked it just until it was starting to brown, and THEN it was really really good--especially with honey butter. Also, I made this without a bread machine, and it's important to not too much flour in. The first time I kept on adding until it was kneadable, but the second time I just added enough to work with it, but it was still sticky, and kind of a pain to try and knead, but it sure turned out good.

This is an excellent light wheat bread, I did have to down size the recipe to fit my 1 lb loaf bread machine, but it worked well and the taste was excellent. My kids liked it and they usually only like white bread. Make sure you check the dough ball during kneading, I had to add about 1/3 of a cup extra of flour to get to correct texture. This will now be a Sunday regular menu items for our family.

This is excellent & easy to make. I use the most helpful tip (in reviews) to create & bake accordingly. The only thing I changed was I used 2 cups of bread flour and 1 cup of all purpose. I've also used both buttermilk and it's substitute (milk with apple cider vinegar added) and both have turned out delicious. Thank you!
