The quest is over! This recipe has replaced store bought bread for my family. It has a great texture, a short ingredient list, and uses honey as a sweetener, which I can get locally. Goodbye store bread with weird chemicals packaged in plastic bags shipped to me from who knows where! :)

It has been a long time since I've baked a loaf of bread. I started to make it, and realized I only had 1/6 c of honey! I added 1/4 c of artificial brown sugar as well as the honey. I baked it as directed in my GE Advantium 120 microwave/oven on the oven setting. The top got a little too brown and tiny bits of the bread wasn't done inside. I baked the second loaf at 360 degrees and got better results. Oven temps vary. Hubby ate 1/2 loaf the first day!

Love this recipe! Especially great when you're out of eggs and milk. I use brown sugar instead of honey and just make one big, irregular-shaped loaf instead. It has too cook just a little bit longer, but saves some trouble. I love how this has very little hands-on time.

I enjoy baking, I have not since my last son, who is now 7. We enjoyed making this recipe, I took advice from reviews. I added more honey and salt. I was able to include all 5 cups of flour. My only problem was when I sliced the bread I had a wet tunnel in the middle all the way through. I will try again, my family really liked the taste and texture of this bread even the wet part(toasted). Oh, I did use Hodgson Mill, Whole Wheat - Graham Flour, but I do not believe that was the issue. Thanks for all the reviews they really help. SB

WOW!!! Great recipe. I did add a little bit more honey than in the recipe. The texture is very soft and moist. This was exactly what I was looking for.

These were so good and easy to make. They also freeze very well. I LOVE this recipe!

Turned out great! Nice big loaves that stayed fresh for days & didn't dry out. Great for sandwiches & french toast! My family loved it. Older son ate a whole loaf in one day! I did have trouble adding all of the regular flour though & stopped at about 4 1/3 cups, & did add about 2 tbsp. flax seed. Thanks I will be making it every week!

I have to give this recipe 5 and a half stars. This was my first time making any kind of bread. I read at least 40 reviews to get different perspectives. I followed all the directions to the tee. I made sure to have all my things together so I could move along smoothly. I used a baby thermometer to make sure my water was 110 degrees. I know this sounds absurd but I just had a baby and I have at least four new ones sitting around the house. I was really scared that the water would be too hot or not hot enough. I waited about two minutes to add the honey. I added the flour one cup at a time. It was easy to stir when I added the three cups of wheat flour. Once I got to the third cup of all purpose flour I started to worry that I was stirring it too much. So I transferred the mixture to my stand mixer with the dough hook. I added the last two cups of flour and let it knead for 10 minutes. I am glad I decided to put the dough in a gigantic plastic bowl to rise instead of leaving it in the mixing bowl because it would not have fit once it rose. I cut my oven on pre heat and cut it off after two or three minutes. Just enough to get it warm. I sutck the dough in to rise. After punching the dough down I made to loaf shapes and put them in the greased pans. I needed the oven to begin to pre heat for baking so I put them in the microwave this time. I didnt cut it on just stuck them in there. It took 30 minutes for them to rise again. To my surprise when I took them

Very Good. My first time making bread that didn't come in a box. Great recipe for beginners like me!

Very good! I halved the recipe to make one loaf and adapted to my bread machine by putting the water, honey and oil in first, then the flours and salt, and yeast last. Ran it on the dough cycle and let it rise in a loaf pan. Brushed the top with melted butter for a tender, brown crust. Nice flavor and texture!

Wow. That bread is fantastic! I'm going to make this recipe a staple around our house. I used 1/2 cup of honey, and it was a very subtle flavor, I also increased the salt by 1/2 tsp and exchanged one cup of white flour for another of wheat. I had to allow for very long rising times since it's winter - they were a full inch above the pan when I put the in the oven. The result is a beautifully fluffy texture that's full of flavor. I just made this a second time, and added a 1/2 cup of quick oats. This made for a heartier texture, great for sandwich bread!

Very good bread. It was easily halved to use in my bread machine, and it came out nice and soft. Bf liked it, which means I will probably make it again because he's not a big fan of wheat bread. I did use a 1/2 c more of wheat flour, modifying the amount of white flour in response.

This was good bread. Very sweet when the honey was doubled as others recommended. I would have given it 5 stars had I not tried another honey wheat bread from this site. It was much better.

My husband and kids absolutely loved this bread - nice light texture for a whole wheat bread. I found it too sweet, certainly too sweet for sandwiches.

Excellent ... I added 3 Tbsp of gluten, 1/4 Cup wheat germ, changed flour to 3 Cups wheat and remaining 3 Cups white.

This recipe was really easy and tasty. I've never made bread before and this turned out perfect. They only thing I will change next time is to substitute some more of the white flour for whole wheat. It says on the wheat flour bag that you can use substitute half wheat flour for white. So next time instead of 5 white cups, I think I'll do 2.5 of each in addition to the wheat that is already int he recipe.
