Made this today with KAF White Whole Wheat Flour. Smelled delicious while baking, but the dough never rose very high in the second rise. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't knead it long enough. Any suggestions? I have had good luck with your basic white bread recipe and was looking for an easy whole wheat recipe. Love KAF products and recipes! You may have used too much flour, Colleen. The best way to measure flour is by weighing; whole wheat flour weighs 4 ounces per cup. If you don't have a scale, be sure you measure using the sprinkle and sweep method. Contrary to what seems reasonable, kneading whole wheat bread for too long is actual bad for it, as the sharp bran particles cut the forming gluten. Better to knead less and let rise more. Please call our baker's hotline, 802-649-3717, if you'd like to discuss this with one of our bakers in person, OK? PJH
