White Whole Wheat Bread

I found this recipe on the back of a 5 lb bag of Bob’s Red Mill White Whole What Flour. I tried both loaf sizes and found the 1 lb loaf worked the best, the larger 1½ lb loaf rose taller than many of my 2 lb loaves and baked onto the machine’s ceiling/window (fun chipping that off!). The smaller loaf baked perfectly and is the right size for sandwiches. This bread recipe could become my go-to recipe. It is moist, tender and has a lot of flavor from the molasses. Don’t leave the vital wheat gluten out, whole wheat breads really need the extra help it gives! It is all the difference between soft bread and dry peasant bread….

Did I mention the bread is kid and whole wheat-phobic friendly? Let your bread machine do the work, let it fill your house with the aroma of fresh bread!
