This is the recipe I've been looking for -- the crust is soft, the texture is hearty, the flavor is perfect. I don't keep buttermilk on hand so I substituted 1 1/2 Cups whole milk w/1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar. The aroma of this bread cooking is delicious! I love it right out of the oven with some butter slathered on! Makes great sandwiches, too. Awesome recipe!

This is a great honey wheat bread. I have made it countless times and have had to replace my copy of the recipe several times because I keep giving it ot others.

This bread has a fine crumb, a soft crust, and a slight sweetness. I can taste a bit of tang from the buttermilk, but not much. It's very soft, and it has stayed soft for two days now. One problem--it didn't rise as high as I would have liked. All in all though, a very nice wheat bread. I think it would be possible to add more wheat flour and still get very good results.

** Dough is SO runny if you make it as specified ** I would reduce buttermilk to 1 cup as previously suggested. I didn't realize that and had to add an additional 3/4 cup whole wheat flour. Turned out FAB!! Excellent chew and flavor. Will divide and make dinner rolls next time :)

Brilliantbrilliantbrilliant!!! Tastes specatular and it's easy as pie to make (well, EASIER, to be honest). Can't ask for more!! I don't buy bread at the store anymore! I've never been able to get bread to bake properly in my bread machine - I think because it rises the yeast too long so the whole thing collapes. I was getting frustrated, and then I tried this recipe. Using the bread machine to mix and rise the dough is brilliant because it's the part I hate the most, and the most time consuming. I stick all the ingredients in the machine and ignore it for an hour and a half. The only work I have to do is to pull it out of the bread machine, put it in a pan, rise it again and then turn on the oven. I heat my oven for a second or two and then stick the loaf in there to rise. When it's double in size, I just turn on the oven. I can do all manner of other kitchen stuff while this is baking! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I love this recipe!!. :) tygrwmn

This really is an excellent bread. Cut back some of the oil (which was minimal already, but oh well) and came out wonderfully. It's moist and crumbly..will make again. Repeatedly.

This surely is a good bread... but it has nothing really special! I didn't taste neither buttermilk, nor honey there was in it... It misses that little extra that changes a breakfast into a gastronomical meal... Sorry

This was my second attempt at bread making and it came out wonderful. I didn't have a bread machine, so I mixed the ingredients myself and only had to add a small amount of flour which was picked up from my counter while kneading. However my dough was very, "thin" I guess you would say so I baked it in a 9x5" loaf pan at approximately 325 degrees for about 30 mins or until risen fully and lightly browned, then I turned up my heat to 350 to finish browning, and my fiance` and I ate the entire loaf with dinner. LOVED IT Thank you

Mmmmm, Mmm! I am a bread lover, but I'm picky. This one was delicious! The only problem was that it didn't bake long enough, and turned out a bit doughy in the middle. Besides that, two thumbs up!

What a wonderful bread recipe! After I started adding the ingredients to my bread machine I realized I was out of whole wheat flour and ended up using plain bread machine four. Also I came up a tiny bit short on the buttermilk and added 1 1/2 tablespoons water to equal the correct amount. Even with all that the bread came out perfect! It's great for sandwiches too! Picky husband said "wow, this is good bread!" Thanks so much for the recipe!

Fantastic recipe. I have made it twice within a week. I am not the bread eater in the family, my wife is, and she doesn't want me to stop making it. It raises nicely, is very moist, and isn't heavy and compact like most whole wheat breads. I have done it both times completly in my bread maker which is one of the less expensive ones. I did follow a couple of the other reviewers advise. Use bread flour and not all purpose. Added almost another cup of whole wheat flour than the recipe calls for. I never have buttermilk so added 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar to regular milk and mixed the baking soda, oil, and honey with it. Put that in the bread maker first. I also mix the whole wheat flour, the bread flour, and salt in a bowl to combine well before dumping it in the bread maker on top of the liquid ingredients. Put a pat of butter in each corner of the bread pan. Set bread maker to basic/specialty setting with a crust color set for medium. You couldn't ask for a nicer loaf of bread. Will be making this often.

This is a very nice bread! I read the reviews 1st and instead of adding flour, I reduced the buttermilk to 1 cup. Perfect!! Last time I made it I added 1/2 cup 7 grain cereal. Lovely.

Excellent texture and flavor! I used an additional cup of white bread flour, and for extra flavor added 1 tsp. butter flavoring. Use the clear color - purchased in the cake decorating section of groceries or craft stores. I processed it on the dough cycle of my bread machine, formed 2 smaller loaves and let rise in bread pans.

Thanks for this recipe my picky kids even loved it!! Yum! A definite keeper!!!

Yum, soooooo good!! I hardly ever have buttermilk around (what?! and i call myself a baker...), so I used milk and mixed in two tbsp of yogurt for the tang. It worked wonderfully, and the bread is lovely. (It's good with sunflower seeds mixed in, too.)

Great texture, great taste. I use an Oster bread machine; therefore, I did use white bread flour and added 1/3 cup more whole wheat flour than called for in recipe, cause I thought it was a bit too moist at kneading. Used "White" and "Rapid" "Medium Crust" settings. For those having problems I might suggest that you add the baking soda directly to the buttermilk as you measure it as opposed to adding it with the dry ingredients.

Thought it was okay but nothing special. I did follow previous reviews and added another cup of flour. Used breadmaker to knead and then divided into two loaves and baked in oven for exact baking time listed in recipe.

I make bread for the entire neighborhood and have been looking for a great whole wheat bread. This is it!! I agree that it makes an enormous loaf so I'd reduce the buttermilk to 1 c. and the soda as well. For those who had failures, are you using bread flour? It's critical to use bread flour with a high protein content to get a good rise in any bread. Compare protein content between brands. In the Midwest, Dakota Maid bread flour is the best. Hope this helps.

I tried this twice: once exactly as the recipe specified, and once adding more flour. It cam eout extemely heavy both times- and this come from someone who is used to whole wheat breads. I was rather disappointed, and couldn't understand how this rated so high with so many reviewers. It doesn't come close to melting in your mouth.
