Excellent bread. I was confused by the lack of kneading in the instructions. My dough came out very sticky and I kneaded in a bit more flour to one loaf to make it a little less sticky and even more flour to another for a more traditional bread like feel. I will probably knead next to the more bread like feel. I think the very sticky dough may be why others have problems with "falling" and bread that falls apart. However both versions tasted great!!

Very tasty! I added 3 cups of whole wheat flour and 9 cups of bread flour and used rapid rise yeast and it still comes out nice and airy (only makes 5 loaves though). You just can't beat fresh baked bread for your family!

This was a really nice, easy recipe. I substituted maple syrup for the sugar, but other than that, followed exactly. The end product was a little dense, not quite as airy as I was hoping - but I may not have let the dough rise enough before popping it into the oven (it's really cold in my house and I have to double or even triple typical rising times). I will make this again.

This recipe was WONDERFUL! I had baked these a few days before we had a power outage...so all the neighbors came over and they tried it and were amazed. One neighbor wouldn't even eat it with jam because he just wanted the taste of the bread. I've made it twice, once forgetting the salt and another accidentally putting in white instead of brown sugar. Both times it was fantastic. This one's going in my recipe box.

I've made bread probably close to 100 times and this is the first time that it fell. It tasted fine but not great.

Wonderful bread! I wasn't sure my family would go for such a health recipe which included wheat flour and oats, but they loved it! I used no electronics for mixing and it wasn't that difficult and turned out beautiful! Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe. I plan to make this on a regular basis in place of store bought bread!

I've been making bread consistently for a while now and I'm soooo glad I found this recipe. It's easy to make and tastes wonderful. I made a couple variations that turned out so well, I can't wait to make them again. With both variations... wait until the dough has risen once, then separate and add the goodies to each loaf individually. I ended up with 4 large loaves with this recipe. One variation is to add 1/2 cp. parmesan cheese, 3/4 cp. chopped black and green olives, and a tsp. of chopped garlic. Makes a wonderful specialty bread that goes great with soups. The second variation is to spread the dough on the counter and roll it out. Then add cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter (don't skimp), and roll up then place back in bread pan to raise. Both are sooo good... THANKS for an awesome and versatile recipe!

This bread is incredible. I added 2 Cups Whole Wheat flour and 2/3 flax seed and 2/3 cup sunflower seeds. My husband likes this bread better than the whole wheat with seeds breads that I have made. I didn't make six loaves I nade four large loaves instead. Just the right size for sandwiches. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will be making this one often.

I made this exactly as written and it turned out very tasty. I think for my own personal tastes I'd prefer to add more oats or nuts to make it heartier. I ate quite a bit of this with some whipped honey.

If I could rate this bread more I could, it was my very first time making bread and it was a huge success! I didn't use whole wheat flour, I used all bread flour, and it was still delicious! It will become a family favorite!! Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

DELICIOUS! The only thing is that the texture was a little interesting. It was like a cross between bread & cake texture. I'm wondering whether this has to do with my kneeding? (or rather not enough of it). I kneeded it for about 5-7 mins. Or does it have to do with the fact that I used 1/2 wheat flour & 1/2normal flour?

do not try to make full recipe of this using your mixer - it's impossible. rather, mix well using a wooden spoon and remember that you don't have to knead this dough too much - it's supposed to be sticky. excellent flavor, good texture and moist. mine didn't rise above the pans either time i made it but came out just fine.
