I too did not read the reviews and made 2 loaves that were very thin. The taste was still great and I will continue to make this bread but I will either make 1 loaf or double the recipe and make 2.

This is a delicious bread, so much better than industrial breads from the supermarket. Easy to make too!

Used whole wheat and white bread flour. Had great loft and texture. Not too dense. Ppl really need to be careful with the amount of flour they put in the mix when they make it. Just because a recipe calls for three cups, doesn't mean you will need to put all three in.... A lot depends on the quality/type of ingredients you are using and how dense you like your bread... Often times, a dense bread is simply a product of adding too much flour. Anyway, took me a while to figure that out so thought I'd pass that nugget of info on to others who may not know.... take it or leave it. As for this recipe.... the taste was BLAND! I followed the ingredient list and did not add/substitute anything - even though I had read the reviews. So piece of advice, unless you like really bland bread you might want to add the recommended couple tablespoons of honey or subbing the white sugar for brown.

Very tasty, easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly. This was the first loaf of bread I've ever made. I think the yeast I used was a little stale so the bread did not rise as I thought it would. In the future, I will use newer yeast and let it rise longer before baking. While the final product was flatter and more dense than I would've liked, the taste of the bread was great! I'm a very picky wheat bread eater. This was very mellow, smooth in taste. Even my picky toddler gobbled up the piece I gave to her. Thanks for this easy-to-make recipe that does not require a breadmaker!

This bread is pretty good. One thing- this doesn't make enough for 2 loaves, so I doulbed the recipe to get 2 loaves. I ran out of whole wheat flour (only had 1 cup) so I used white whole wheat for the rest. This rose very well, but when I put them into the hot oven to bake, the loaves deflated. I'm sure it's not the recipe though- it's probably me. I had the loaves in the oven (with the light on) to rise, and I removed them to pre-heat the oven. Then I had to put them back in- maybe it was all the movement (although I tried to be really careful). So although my loaves are pretty short, they are still very tasty and soft inside. This recipe was easy to make, too.

Really good. I'm just a beginner with yeast breads, and this turned out. It's very basic.

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. It wasn't bad, but it really wasn't good either. It needs too many modifications for me to reccomend it to anyone else. I added 2 tbs of honey, just as some past reviewers suggested, and that helped the flavor some, but it was bland for the most part. I did decide to make just one loaf, and it rose really well even after I deflated it. But when I baked it at 400 degrees, it nearly burnt the loaf. It was dry inside, and had very little flavor. I'll probably use it for french toast, but I wouldn't try making sandwiches with it.

Following various earlier reviews this is what I did : Used 2 cups of whole wheat and 1 cup of all purpose. Made one loaf with the batter instead of two and added an extra 1/4 cup of milk. The extra milk did not seem to be enough, perhaps we need to add 1/3 cup or so. I kept wetting my hands with some milk while kneading coz my dough was far from smooth and elastic. I kept doing this till the dough turned smooth. The dough rose well during the 1st rise but it failed to rise the second time! I wonder why. And although the bread had a good taste it was more cake like. Perhaps I should've also followed another review of just using 2 cups of flour on the whole. I would have then got a light bread. I might do this again with less flour next time. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe is very tasty and I will use it again, but the recipe as it is written only makes 1 loaf of bread and it doesn't raise very high. The next time I make it, I think I'll skip the 2nd rising and just put the dough into the bread pan, let it rise and then bake.

This is quite good, although it benefits from toasting and adding jam or something else. It's not the best bread I have baked, but it's good. I think next time I will make this recipe into one big loaf rather than the two smaller ones.

by far the best loaf of bread I've made! I accidentaly included the egg in the mix, and not for the brushing. And still is was a great loaf! I followed other's suggestions of NOT doubling it on the first try, AND letting it rise quite a bit longer than required. Thanks for such a GREAT recipe!

This was the first time I have ever made bread! It turned out okay but I did add more milk to the dough because it wasn't pulling together. All in all it turned out great!

I have been making this bread since i found it about four years ago. We love it. I often replace more of the white flour with whole wheat for a heartier flavor and add ground flax as well.

Wonderful bread. Only needed 2 3/4 c. flour total and made one larger loaf.

The bread turned out delicious but i did make some changes to the recipe I added and extra 1/4 cup of milk and a tablespoon of honey. I also used dark brown sugar instead of white and baked in one 9 x 5 in pan. This was my first time making bread with yeast. Very easy and turned out great.

i also had the problem of dough being too dry, so i increased the liquid, and also the top browned very quickly, so i had to decrease the temperature. all in all, the bread was tasty, but the loaf was on the smaller side. thx for the recipe though =)
