Love this bread - easy to make & everyone likes the taste/texture. I do swap 1 cup of bread flour for 1 cup of whole wheat plus I add a few tbs of ground flax seed just as a personal preference. I prefer to use the dough cycle of the bread machine & then let rise in a large loaf pan before baking at 350. Turns out a nice sized loaf that will slice sandwich thin - no problem!

This bread suits all palates. My son wouldn't eat anything but white bread and my dh prefers whole grains or rye mixtures. So we always have 2 types in the house and one certainly spoils. This is an excellent compromise - they both love it. I did, however, reduce the honey to 1/8 cup and added 1/8 cup water instead, to make it more versatile. Thanks for posting this super recipe!

This recipe is awesome. We no longer buy bread from the store and I have to make this at least once a day. It only took a few days for my family to adjust as this bread is sweeter than they were used to. Now when I try out new recipes everyone complains and I go back to making this one. My various adaptions include: olive oil, sea salt, unbleached flour/wheat flour combinations, vital wheat gluten and I add ground flaxseed meal to all my bread recipes. Very healthy, may need to increase water slightly though. I also don't bake this in the breadmaker, I transfer it to a breadpan, let rise and bake at 350. I don't know how long it takes though, I bake it by smell. This is fun to experiment with and almost impossible to mess up. Thanks so much.

My staple recipe. Because I have a 1LB bm, cut ingredients to: 1 TB oil, 2 1/4c bread flour, and 1 tsp yeast. Use regular/Light crust setting (3 hr, 30 min). Fantastic moist springy texture and just crisp crust.
