I increased the amount of honey in this recipe to 1/4 cup, which helped the flavor tremendously, however, I still think the texture was just too dense for our taste. I like a light and airy bread, and this one was just not it. It's consistency is just much too heavy. Will continue to look for a lighter bread. But thanks for sharing this recipe.

I added an extra 1/2 teaspoon of yeast and it had great texture, but it needs more salt(maybe 1/4 ts. extra),it was somewhat flavorless. I will bake it again with more salt and maybe some ground flax seed.

In my search to find a bread that would work for sandwiches and toast, I have tried four recipes on this site and this is it! While the others were good, Simple whole wheat bread and Fabulous Homemade bread, this was far superior in taste, texture and the ability to cut for sandwiches without crumbling. If you don't have a bread machine, you can follow this is a guideline. Combine yeast, water and a tsp sugar and let proof for 10 minutes. Meanwhile combine white flour and salt in a bowl. When yeast is proofed, add to flour and combine with 1/4 c. honey and veg. oil. Mix well. Add whole wheat flour until it pulls away from the bowl and knead well. I use my Kitchenaid. I then let rise in a glass bowl in a slightly warm oven and then formed in a loaf in a loaf pan and let rise. I cooked at 350 in a convection oven for 25 minutes. However, I did cook it once without a convection bake setting and it took an additional 15 minutes. Hope this helps.

This is a great loaf for sandwiches, I make a loaf every couple of days for lunches and every scrap is eaten! I add about 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds, and sometimes will use 2tbsp of cooking oil instead of the butter. Good all-around bread!

I made this bread the other day and it was great. I followed the recipe exactly but added 1/4 cup or so of ground flax seeds. It was so moist and fluffy and as a few other reviewers said, stayed that way for quite some time. My 11 year old daughter could not stop eating it! Making another loaf tonight to be ready by morning. Make this!

I made this over the weekend and it tasted good - but I needed to add another cup of water. The 1 1/8 made a "mealy" looking dough so I added the water and restarted the cycle. Turned out good.

Based on some other reviews, I made the following alterations; used 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour and 1 c. white; added 1.5 T. wheat gluten; increased honey to 1/4 c.; and this recipe came out AWESOME! I have only used the "dough" setting on the breadmaker, though; I've found that this recipe does take quite a bit of time to rise, so I'm a little reluctant to let the breadmaker bake a loaf. I just prefer to let everything rise until it looks right, and then put it in the over myself. This has made excellent dinner rolls and loaves of bread. I highly recommend it.

With a few modifications this recipe makes and EXCELLENT loaf of bread. I changed the recipe size to 15 servings which made a perfect 2 lb loaf. Based off that change I made the following modifications: I added extra honey, I'm not sure exactly how mch, but it was more than the recipe called for, I would add it to suit your tastes. I also added extra salt, all the other bread recipes I make call for a ratio of one packet or 2 1/4 tsp yeast to 1 1/12 tsps salt, so thats what I used. I also changed the ratio of flour to 2/3 wheat flour and 1/3 bread flour so that I got more of a wheat bread than a white wheat bread. The bread is perfect, it has a soft but not too soft texture with an excellent crust, the taste is also perfect! It looks just like the bread I'd buy from the store, but at a fraction of the price and a much better taste.

This is the best whole wheat bread recipe I have ever found. I have tried many. It stays moist for many days, not like most that tend to dry out in a day or two. I do not like the shape of the loaf in my bread machine. I just use the dough cycle and then let it rise in a loaf pan. I bake it at 35o degrees for about 40 to 45 minutes in my oven. It also make great bread sticks for those special meals. I did increase the honey to 1/4 cup and I only use canola oil. Instead of butter on the crust, I use the butter flavored spray oil. No fat.

I haven't tried the original recipe, only the modified version with increased honey and modified flour measures. I also modified it to 2 tsp yeast for a fluffier loaf, and added 1/4 cup soft white wheat berries to produce a honey wheat berry recipe, and it was delicious!

Great bread!!!! Moist, and not too crumbly like other wheat bread recipes I've tried. And not too dense either. Perfect! I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and did the following adjustments: 2 cups wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose (I didn't have bread flour), increased honey to 1/4 cup, increased salt to about 1/2 tsp., and used butter instead of oil. I also used the dough cycle on my bread maker and then took it out, put it in a bread pan covered with sprayed plastic wrap, and let it rise for an additional 40 minutes. Then baked it at 350º for 35 minutes. Lately I've been separating my bread into two small bread pans and baking smaller loaves. (350º for 25 min)

I also used the other reader's suggestions of 1 tsp salt, 2 T butter, and 1/4 cup honey on the dough setting, then punch down and rise. It's my first successful bread, and I am now in love with my machine- I made four loaves today! This recipe works with almost any combo of grain, including oat and potato (Those don't rise much though). For ww grain, I added Italian seasonings & garlic with the ingredients, and topped with cheese before baking- that was amazing! This is an excellent recipe!

Sorry, but I disagree, with what appears to be... everyone. I found this to be a bland boring wheat bread, lacking depth of flavor.

I'm new to making bread and this was so easy. I made it in my breadmaker on "quick wheat" setting. I did add 2 tsp of brown sugar, used all whole wheat, added close to 1/2 cp of honey and a bit more salt and it's a hit. It comes out great! I tried other recipes on here and they were too heavy, too moist, too bland. this one is fantastic!

Our new everyday bread recipe. I have to make all of our bread due to allergies and this is fantastic. My husband says it's the best yet (and I have tried a lot of recipes). I upped the servings to 14 so I could bake this in a pullman loaf pan. It was perfect - and it made beautiful, thin slices despite its softness. The only change I made was to up the honey to 1/4 cup. I also mixed it in my stand mixer and kneaded it with the dough hook and then did a normal rise, punch down, shape and put into bread pan and let rise again. I baked at 350 for about 40 minutes. I love this recipe!

Great recipe! I made some adjustments to the salt measurement (I like a little bit more) and depending on my mood I use more or less of the whole wheat flour.
