This has been the best wheat bread recipe I've made!!! Not only was it light, it looked perfect! I used 1\/2 whole wheat flour and 1\/2 white. Simply added the ingredients to my bread machine and after rising, I rolled it as per the recipe. I'm making it, again, right now. Thanks!!!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"06\/29\/2013 11:39","GUID":"f29db9569661412b950cf4d19f3106b7","MemberId":7319270,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"julieskitchen","SubmittedDate":"06\/29\/2013 11:39"},{"Comment":"

Everyone that tried this bread loved it! I used mostly freshly ground whole wheat flour. Next time, I'll try it with all whole wheat flour.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"06\/22\/2011 11:10","GUID":"c5c9311d34f849a093618c9e0555cf45","MemberId":5425986,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bfarrar","SubmittedDate":"06\/22\/2011 11:13"},{"Comment":"

Wonderful bread with a great chewy texture and crisp crust. I baked my loaves on a pizza stone at 450 F to add to the crust, but I don't think this is necessary as they have such a great flavor. My mom and I ate half of the recipe ourselves with butter. Enough said.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"05\/20\/2011 22:22","GUID":"0396b3f24dce49e2b539af091b5ce4c1","MemberId":5999068,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"littlegoatie","SubmittedDate":"05\/20\/2011 22:22"},{"Comment":"
This was an easy bread recipe and it make wonderfully crusty bread that was great with soup. I used the same recipe for pizza dough the next day by just letting the dough rise once. We loved it!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2010 14:22","GUID":"f350bcd4137c4fb0bd4c2f8ef0f79426","MemberId":3682039,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lovetoquilt","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2010 14:22"},{"Comment":"
