I've made 3 loaves of this now- all with different variations. It's a very versatile loaf.
#1 was pretty much per the posted recipe, with the addition of some high-maize.
#2 was the 100% whole wheat recipe (from the link in the post). I added a tbsp of honey (love honey whole wheat flavor!) and some high maize and gluten. I also used 3 Tbsp of butter instead of 6, and added 3 tbsp of safflower oil. It came out excellent.
#3 today was the white bread recipe as posted, with the butter/oil substitution, plus high maize and about 1/4 oat bran.
All loaves were so good, that DH and I decided we're not buying store-bought loaves anymore. He asked me to buy lunchmeat at the store today so he could take his lunch on this bread.
Thanks so much for posting this. I love it when I can make something homemade that's every bit as good, if not better, than storebought, with healthier ingredients.
Thanks for commenting, Cindy; I'm so glad the bread is a hit in your house. Isn't that pan SO worth it? I love mine... Keep reporting - I want to do a loaf with mini cinnamon chips one of these days... PJH
