The Best Bread Recipe Ever

As I was growing up my Mom tried a number of whole wheat bread recipes. My Dad wasn’t too fond of a dense whole wheat bread sandwich so Mom kept trying to find a lighter w.w. bread recipe. For a number of years now that recipe has been Sue Gregg’s whole wheat bread recipe. It’s a great recipe! Mom was given a Bosch mixer for Christmas last year and that’s a new learning curve with the bread dough. She just tried a new recipe from a church friend and my Dad and I were raving about it. It is so light and yummy! The secret to the light taste is in the type of flour used. So if you use different w.w. flour than the one in the recipe, don’t be disappointed with less than spectacular results. If you like your bread with a slight sweetness you might want to try adding honey. These instructions for mixing are with a Bosch mixer in mind. Enjoy!
