Thanks so much for giving this recipe a go, Wendy! You can reduce the salt a bit if you'd like, check out our Why is salt important in yeast bread? article for details on doing this. Whole wheat flour has a slightly higher protein content than all-purpose flour which will cause the flour to absorb more liquid. When using whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose, we recommend increasing the liquid by 2 teaspoons per cup of flour substituted. Whole wheat baked goods will rise a bit less and have a more closed crumb structure. We hope this helps and happy baking!
