I made this bread with the instructions from the gal who used her Kitchen Aid mixer and couldnt believe that it used half the usual yeast and still was awesome.

I don't own or use a bread machine. Made this whole wheat bread with a stand mixer and oven. I proof the yeast first, then combine all the ingredients and let stand for 20 minutes. I then do a quick mixer knead, oil the top and cover, and let it rise for four hours. Baked at 450 until golden brown. Flavor improves to store-bought with addition of 1-4tb of vital wheat gluten. No problems making it without a bread machine.

Very nice, mine fell a little, but maybe because I peeked! Very nice flavor and texture. It disapeared in a hurry.

This was a tasty loaf, although mine fell a bit just as it was about to start the baking cycle. Just to mention that Whole Wheat Honey Bread on this site is also a pure w/wheat recipe and works incredibly well in the bread machine.

It came out wonderful, light, fluffy. I added ground golden flax and sunflower seeds for nutrition, substituted soy milk for powdered milk, soy margarine and added some honey. It was so good we ate it plain or with a little soy butter. I've tried other whole grain and multi grain recipes which ended up hard or heavy. This one is a winner.

Is it just me? I cannot figure out how to make this bread rise. It's just awful. It doesn't even fill the bread pan of the bread machine after hours of rising. I'm disappointed. I want this to work. I tried gluten like other reviews said, I've tried it all. It's just a small hard loaf. :(

Consistency of the bread is solid. While in the abm, the top of loaf fell, but otherwise perfect all around. Excited this is a simple straightforward recipe that does not ask for all purpose flour. Way to go.

It really is good! As recommended, I added a 1/4 cup of wheat gluten. I also don't have powdered milk, so I just substituted 1/4 cup of 1% milk with 1 cup water.

This bread was excellent. I used canola oil instead of margarine, honey instead of white sugar and added 1/4 flaxseeds.

This fabulous! Easy to double and it freezes really well! If you don't have a bread machine make sure you knead it really, really well. Also, make sure you let it rise long enough (45 minutes - 1 hour). I was in a hurry once and put it in too soon and it split a little on the side. Still was yummy, just not as pretty! I also add Gluten and I also add ground up flax seeds. Thanks!

Good, dense bread. Smells and looks great! (I substituted a TBsp of cream for the powdered milk, but otherwise just the same)

Very nice ww bread. I added 3 tbs of vital wheat gluten to help it rise. I used the dough only feature of my bread machine then placed in a loaf pan to rise and bake. I didn't let it rise too much; I have a tendency to forget and let my loaves over rise a bit, so I kept an eye on it. I baked it when it had risen out to the sides of the pan and a bit over the pan. I baked at 375 for about 45-50 minutes; this time and temp seems to work best with my oven. Thanks for the recipe!

This is the best whole wheat bread recipe I've tried. I prefer a loaf shape for easier sandwiches and French toast, so I used my bread machine's dough cycle, then turned the dough into a loaf pan. I let it rise for an hour in a warm oven, then baked it at 350° for 45 minutes. It rose and baked perfectly, wasn't flat or heavy at all - thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

Seriously good bread. I've made this twice so far. Both times I added gluten so it wouldn't be dense as whole wheat bread can come out. And the second time I replaced the sugar with honey. That second time was beyond awesome. I almost ate the whole loaf myself. I spread peanut butter on top a slice and fell in love.

I bake artisan breads for a living in a wood fired brick oven. But sometimes I like to use my inside oven. I ground the wheat I used in this recipe, and did also add 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten per others suggestions. Other than that this is a very good recipe and turned out great. Five Stars all the way--very easy recipe if one follows the instructions!
