I used 2 cups of whole wheat against 2 cups of white and subbed rice milk for the powdered milk and it tastes wonderful. This bread is wonderful!

I love this book but some of the recipes intimidate me because of the sheer amount of work required. As a full-time worker outside the home, I can only do these on very well planned weekends, because of the slow rising and the overnight preferments. Plus my stuff always seems to rise way slower than the book says. Except for this light whole wheat - it rose like a champ!

It was delicious, but the crust was REALLY hard. I do love a good crust, but this was too much. Did I do something wrong? I made this bread the other day.

I've had many bad bread experiences, but this one worked like a charm, and my family now refuses to eat anything else! Thanks.

I'm curious if this can actually be 2 - 1 lb loaves since it rises so much more quickly than anticipated. I noticed in the cookbook all of the other sandwich bread recipes seem to be for 2 - 1 lb loaves instead of 1 - 2 lb loaf. The bread is a little a dense but the flavor is outrageous and my hubby loves it. Thanks for the recipe. I love this recipe and I just never saw it in the cookbook it came from.

I am so proud I made my own wheat bread. I ate it plain, as a BLT, with pasta. The swirl on one end remained... it looked kinds offensive... like it was flicking me off - but it was hysterical.

I'm on it now. The bread has been fueling my mornings. Your bread posts are so encouraging. Your baby is sooo lucky (and oh so cute!). Thanks, Deb! I’m on it now.
