I’ve been wanting to make bread for awhile now but have been putting it off knowing how long it takes. And the process: rise, knead, rise, bake, flour everywhere, yeah right. But I finally took it on. I wanted to go with a whole wheat, sandwich/loaf style of bread like what you would buy in the store or get out of a bread maker. I actually bought a loaf pan about 4 months ago for this very moment. I did have to go to the store for one ingredient which is the key to whole wheat bread actually rising well, vital wheat gluten. I ended up finding it at Whole Foods Grocery after trying walfarts. This bread come out wonderful. It was perfect with some butter and jam on it, we had several pieces that same way the next day. I do recommend this recipe and will be making it again, 6 thumbs up from this house. There’s nothing like making great tasting staple foods from scratch and so much healthier. Now for some veggie sandwiches!
