Quick and easy. I did a few changes. I used brown sugar instead and 1 tbsp of molasses.I also used instant yeast so I skipped step 1. The bread came out light and tasty.

I wanted to give this 5 stars but just can't due to the fact that this does not make two loaves - only one! Also, this bread is bland - but that is okay with us because we want our bread to taste 'healthy' not sweet. Per the instructions, you are told to let rise in a warm place...hmmm...where? I decided to heat up the warming plate area on my stove and I placed the bowl on it covered with the damp towel. This worked well. On the second rise, I did the same thing. It never doubled, but rose enough for me to put in oven. If I did not put on the warming plate I don't know if it would have rose properly. I will make this again as opposed to buying from the grocery store.

Amazing taste. If you want to make 2 big loaves make the servings 46, for one big loaf 23 servings. I got raves at Thanksgiving dinner on this bread. Absolutely amazing bread. Even my picky eater kiddos loved it.

Outstanding wheat bread. Like others I found out that the recipe only makes 1 loaf, so I doubled everything except the flour. I started with 2 cups of whole wheat and 2 cups of AP flour, then added just enough additional AP flour to get a fairly wet dough. I added 3 teaspoons of wheat gluten, used brown sugar instead of white, and added 2 tablespoons of dry Italian seasoning. I also warmed the milk for 30 seconds in the microwave before mixing. I mixed and kneaded in my Kitched Aid mixer with the dough hook. Unlike some reviews, I got good rises from both first and second rise. Added: I have eliminated the egg. I mix the dough a little bit wet and the bread has a wonderful soft texture that I love. I make 2 loaves every couple of weeks.

We tried for the second week in a row and the result was again disappointing: two very flat and dense loaves. We are using them for paninis, because the taste is not bad, but when we make bread at home, we expect them to rise, especially when we follow the recipe exactly and even left longer... but it never doubled the size. Not sure if I will give it another try.

Very fluffy, light tasting wheat bread. Agree with other reviewers that this really only makes one loaf. I also had to have a longer second rising. I gave it an hour and probably could have done an hour-thirty. On the whole though, very easy recipe with a good result!

Yep, this is pretty simple, though I dislike the dryness.

Bc of the comments that this makes very small loaves, I doubled it. After glancing at the ingredients I realized why it makes small loaves. Most bread recipes call for approximately 3 to 3 1/2 cups of flour for one loaf of bread, so definitely double this recipe if you're looking for more than one loaf of bread. Other than that issue, this is a nice, light, chewy, whole wheat loaf. I like it--great for sandwiches! Thanks for the recipe!
