Hi Deb, I’m new to your blog but have tried several of your recipes (apple pie, pizza crust, breads) and I’m loving it! Thanks for posting all wonderful recipes. I made this light wheat bread four times in 2 weeks. I tweaked the recipe twice, put 1/4 wheat bran or more ww flour, they didn’t turn out awesome. I also put the dough for second rising in the fridge – the bread tasted beery and sour. So I won’t put it in the fridge ever again. Hint: follow the recipe just as it’s written and you can’t go wrong.

I made this yesterday and it turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for such a wonderful recipe. This is the first loaf of bread I’ve made in 5 years. My whole family just loved it, myself included. Many thanks for sharing :)

Can this be made in a bread machine?

This is a damn good recipe. I let my loaf proof a little too long so my loaf is ENORMOUS and yet the crumb is still perfect and the bread is delicious. Your deli rye is still my favorite, though!

I’ve made this loaf numerous times, both with honey or sugar. One tip I found for when the kitchen is cooler, especially this time of year, is toss the bowl into the oven to rise. No need to turn on the oven, just click on the inside light! It generates just enough heat in the enclosed space to really help.

Does anyomne know of a recipe that is ALL whole grain and not hard & heavy? I want to use 100% whole grain; there has to be a way to do so and not end up with a brick.

I haven’t tried it without the milk powder but I use vital wheat gluten with all-purpose all of the time if I’m out of bread flour.

Hi Deb! I don’t have any unbleached high-gluten flour on hand, do you think I can add some vital wheat gluten to the white bread flour and yield similar results? I also have to omit milk powder from this recipe as my daughter is allergic to dairy. Will that make the final result spongy without the milk powder?
