Thanks to King Arthur I found what I think is a very good whole wheat bread which is much to long to type here but will give you the link.
Whole wheat sandwich-bread-recipe
Sorry this is the wrong recipe but will leave it here. The one I actually use is
classic whole wheat bread
I do however substitute one cup of AP flour for one cup of whole wheat.
Please stop by our host The Gardener of Eden
, and see what others are adding to their cupboards or using from them.
Your loaf look lovely. This is my favorite recipe for wheat bread as well. It is very forgiving to my experimenting too.
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks wonderful wilderness! I haven't been baking much bread these days since I still haven't lost all of my winter fat!
ReplyDeleteOh darn they make that recipe with potato flakes which I can't eat. I tend to do mine half and half and not totally whole wheat.
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks perfect. I'm trying to eat more whole grains too and it is actually far more difficult than I anticipated. Makes you realise how much refined flour you actually do eat.
ReplyDeleteGM I posted the wrong recipe. I just reposted the correct one.
ReplyDeleteRobin, I don't eat it much, My DB has to have it
Daphne go back and check the second link. I posted the wrong recipe the first time and there is no potato flakes in the one I make
Liz,I have never baked with whole grains before. It is a whole new learning experience.
That is a beautiful loaf of whole wheat bread. Getting a good loaf of sandwich bread with 100% whole wheat is quite difficult. I like using a little all purpose unbleached flour too to give it more lightness.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it hard to go whole grain! We've been making the same transition ourselves. Keep up the hard work!
ReplyDeleteI have hard time transitioning to whole wheat bread, will try occasionally though.
ReplyDeleteLaura that is a good recipe as long as you use the 1 c of AP flour.
ReplyDeleteMP thanks
Jody and Mac I don't eat it but my DB loves it and that is the only reason I make it.
