I really liked this recipe! I have been looking for a handmade bread recipe (I like to knead dough!) that would yield a soft but yeasty tasting bread and this is it! I made three minor adjustments, already recommended by many, adding some vital wheat gluten, about 5 tbsp, olive oil instead of butter and switched up the ratio of white to ww flour, 5 cups of ww and 3 cups of white. Other than that I followed the directions of the original recipe. It is very yummy, was an easy to work with dough, it cooperated with two good rises, even though my yeast had to have been not so fresh. I can see modifying this recipe even further, quite easily, adding flax or chia seeds, etc. This is a very easy to make, follow and enjoy bread recipe!

This recipe for bread is a staple in our house. I make 3 loaves a week. Everyone can't wait until it comes out of the oven. Great toasted. I follow the recipe exact.

FANTASTIC! I've been baking and cooking since I was 8 years old. This recipe was easy and my family couldn't get enough. With a pot of 15 bean soup this was a hit. Instead of 3 loaves I made it into five 8 x 4 EZ foil pans. This makes a nice gift for family or friends and just perfect for a meal for 2. This one is a keeper.

I make this all the time. It is my go to recipe. I do leave out the second 1/3 cup of honey because I think it is too sweet. I definitly cook it for 30 minutes otherwise it is too gummy for my tastes. I also use a bocsh mixer so I don't take it out on a board to kneed it. I just add all the flour in the mixer until it doesn't stick any more. If you are not used to making bread keep reaplying olive oil to your hands when you are making each loaf, it is sticky. I don't brush the tops with butter because I like the crust better without. I think it makes it too soft. Great bread!

This was my first time making bread and it turned out amazing! I followed the recipe exact. I made 2 loaves instead of 3 and they came out perfect size for sandwiches.

Best. Bread. Recipe. Ever. Ever. EVER. I don't even want a bread machine anymore. I'm content to do this by hand and get 3 loaves each time. So delicious. The first time I made it, I realized that I only had unbleached flour (not whole wheat) but it still came out wonderfully. My three year old wakes up wanting a slice (beware: your family will not be happy if you run out!)... and my 19 year old son thought it was good enough to warrant a Facebook status update. Thanks for sharing an exceptional recipe.
