I liked this bread, but it’s not my favorite I’ve ever had. I like my wheat bread to be a little bit sweeter.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I’m new to bread making and this recipe is the best. Now I no longer have bread failures, and I make my own bread every week and everyone is happy.
I do add 1Tlb. wheat gluten per loaf.

Good stuff! I baked the full recipe (which I mixed by hand, so the only size obstacle was my teeny-tiny oven) and ate a slice with Monterey Jack cheese. I will be making this recipe again in the future.

Very easy and rises fast! I halved the recipe and made one loaf and the rest as rolls. Very tasty and firm enough to hold up well for sandwiches.

I really should half the recipe for the sake of the majority of you have a Kitchenaid mixers. I make this recipe in my Bosch Universal Mixer it handles the 4 loaves without trouble. I forgot not all mixers are the same size!

I’ve never strayed from the recipe on this one, but it would be worth trying. It may take a little more flour with more molasses… just enough to be workable. I too make with all whole wheat flour often.

I’ve been looking for more whole wheat bread recipes. This was fantastic! I halved the recipe and made half of it into rolls for our lasagna dinner. I absolutely love the molasses. I’m wondering if I could get away with adding more next time. Very light and fluffy for so much whole wheat flour. The only change I made was to sub out the white flour for bread flour (I was all out of white). Delicious!

My family loved this bread, simple and easy! I cut the recipe in half, it made 2 nice loaves. Yummy!

Delicious! I couldn’t wait for it to cool before slicing into it. This will now be my bread to make for sandwiches. So easy & keeps really well.

I had checked out the Artisan Bread in 5 Min a Day book from the library & made lots of those breads… they were just ok, & the breads lacked depth & flavor.

This bread has it all- great flavor, ease of making, keeps for several days (if it doesn’t get eaten all at once, that is!).

thanks for putting this on your site!

This is truly a wonderfully-textured bread. To me, that is so important. This has a small “crumb” and perfectly suitable for sandwiches. It slices well, too. I used my electric knife for perfect slices…I also brushed melted butter on the tops of the loaves as soon as they came out of the oven for tender crusts.

The ONLY change I will make: I will do the dough in two batches next time. It made too much for my 5-qt Kitchen Aid bowl and nearly taxed the motor.
