I have tried about a dozen different whole wheat recipes and this one has the best texture. It is light and moist and stays fresh longer. I make 2 different variations. One I add 6 Tbs sun flower seeds, 4 Tbs flax seeds and 2 Tbs oats. In the other I add 3/4 Cup chopped walnuts, 2Tbs poppy seeds, 3Tbs flax seeds and enough fun flower seeds to bring it to 1 1/4 cups nuts. Both variations are excellent!

I loved this bread, made it with Mrs Butterworths syrup but I do think it would be better with real Maple Syrup. I will up the syrup next time if I don't have the real stuff again. But was wonderful, looks great and taste great.

A SUPERIOR LOAF!!! I followed the directions exactly and it turned out great!!!! MUST USE REAL MAPLE SYRUP!!!! I can't imagine anyone actually using an artificially flavored syrup, the purist in me requires me to say this!! Did turn out light as opposed to other WW breads. Will make again and again, will be a home counter staple!!

I made this the first time last night in my breadmaker. Usually wheat bread in the breadmaker comes out really dense and heavy. This one came out perfect. I am eating it right now and absolutely love it. VERY IMPRESSED with this recipe. I love the fact it doesn't have alot of ingredients making it quick to throw in the breadmaker pan. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely delicious. I used my machine's wheat cycle with light crust setting and it came out well. No changes to the recipe. It does not have a "maple" flavor, just a simple wheat bread.

Fantastic! We loved the recipe. We actually bought maple ham to make sandwiches! I added approx 1/8-1/4 more flour as it mixed. I also did not have bread flour, so I used all purpose flour with a tsp of gluten. The bread has a nice texture, rose nicely, and has a light taste. My husband really liked the bread (and he does not like anything that could be healhty) and he ate most of it before I got home from shool :)

Based on Tat2's review I decided to make this bread. I followed the recipe, but I only used 1 cup of water since it is very humid here today. It baked up beautifully. We made BLTs with garden fresh produce and my DD commented that she thought I had bought the bread at the bakery. I also did not use a bread machine. And I slso will be making this again.

This is a very nicely flavored loaf. A little fluff, good crumb, just a great recipe for an everyday loaf. Only thing I did different was use melted butter because I am all out of oil. I used my Kitchen Aid from beginning to end. I warmed my maple syrup with the water to the right temp to proof with my yeast in my mixer bowl. After ten minutes, I added the melted butter, then all the dry ingredients. I had to add at least another 1/4 c. of flour, but that's only because I think the weather was wetter. I kneaded with my bread hook for about five minutes or so, then set in a large greased bowl covered with saran wrap and a towel on a warm oven to rise for an hour. After it had doubled, I pounded it down and shaped into a loaf and set it to rise in an xl loaf pan for a half hour or so. I baked it at 350* for about 40 minutes. I don't usually time bread as I've gotten to know about when it smells ready. Very good bread. This one is going to be made regularly. I love how the flavor fools you a bit, because even though you know it's maple.....you still think it might be something else. This would be a great base for cinnamon bread. NOTE: This is even better the next day, warmed a bit, slathered in butter and drizzled with real maple syrup. Pure heaven.

I read most of the reviews and altered my recipe a little, it turned it really good. I used 2c white wheat flour and 1c bread flour and added 5 tbsp of maple syrup. The extra syrup made it taste like a sweet wheat bread, but not like maple. I also added about 2 tbsp of vital wheat gluten, it made the bread lite and fluffy. I also baked it in the oven instead of the bread machine. I will definitely try this loaf again.

My son was recently diagnose with a sugar allergy, so now I've had to make my own bread, and this recipe is a HIT with everyone! I used 2 cups wholewheat bread flour, and 1 cup white bread flour. Nice and soft bread, including the crust. I agree with other cooks, that you can't taste the maple syrup, but it will be my bread recipe from now on!

This bread is very good...no changes necessary....and although you can't taste maple syrup, the flavour is nicer than a honey loaf.

Mine kept over rising. I had to punch it down three times. I'd rather that then falling though. It was good but I don't know missing something. I'll make again but tinker with the recipe

A good basic wheat bread. There really wasn't much of a maple flavor and I'd rather use something cheaper (sugar, agave, honey, whatever) to sweeten the bread since there wasn't that strong flavor I was hoping for. Otherwise it was a good bread. Nice texture. It seems like this bread would be easy to modify with seeds or whatever you'd like to add. The only change I made was I used 3c of whole wheat flour and omitted the bread flour.

This was my first time making bread in my new bread machine, and this recipe was a fantastic way to begin. Following reviewer, vo0do0's suggestion, I used 1/2 cup quick oats, 3/4 cup apple cider and 1/2 c water instead of 1 1/4 cups water; and, following reviewer, BrittBliss's suggestion, I used 1 cup of Bread Flour (to increase height), and 1- 1/2 cups Whole Wheat flour. I also used 6 Tablespoons of high grade Maple Syrup, and added 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds. The bread has a slightly crunchy and definitely chewy crust and is wonderfully soft and fluffy inside! Perfect for sandwiches, or toasted or even alone! I ate it toasted with an egg on top. Excellent - eggcellent ;) -! The apple cider made it sweeter, and added flavor so it's a savory sweet bread -- but not too sweet. Though, I imagine it'd be great for French Toast. It's an awesome recipe. Thank you, Envision, and other reviewers! :) Update: I've made this bread 6 times now, and everyone who eats it, loves it! It's a staple now. :)

This has become our new basic homemade bread. I vary the amount of maple syrup based on the grade of syrup I currently have on hand. It is very easy to cut into sandwhich sized slices and my husband loves it for his breakfast sandwhich before work. I mix it in the bread machine and bake it in the oven as other reviewers have suggested, most breads fall in my bread machine if I bake them in it, so it is pretty standard for me to use it just for mixing anyway. The recipe is so simple I memorized it after just a few times of baking it so I can easily make it a couple of times a week.

I have to say it was good, even up here at 8,888 feet! All I did was increase the salt to 1 tsp. which inhibits the yeast a bit.
