I use your “dough enhancer” with all of my bread recipes. The dough is incredible. It fixes every loaf. I even use it on my mom’s Tortilla recipe. It is so incredible. I have been making bread for 20 years now. I never had these experiences. Thank you for the recipe.

Oh my, this bread is good! I make mine in a Bosch mixer and had been using their recipe. Yours is my new favorite! So much better texture and flavor, thank you!

Actually, no, you don't have to add double the powdered milk. You can use the same amount. It won't make a difference. My recipe differs a little bit from this one, but the powdered milk is optional. Sometimes I throw some in, & sometimes I leave it out. Turns out the same either way. You can also toss in some oats &/or other cracked grains / flours in place of up to 1/3 of the wheat flour. It's fun! Try it! And unless your bread is literally sticking all over your hands, it's fine. If it's too dry, & too floury, the dryer & heavier your loaf will be. I coat my hands & the counter with a tiny bit of oil & that works PERFECTLY for making it not sticky. Also… (almost done!)… Instead of having to let it rise, punch it down, & let it rise again, here's a simple, fast, & fool proof trick I learned:
Heat your oven to 140 degrees. Shape your dough into loaves & put into lightly greased bread pans. Put your bread pans in the oven, THEN TURN OFF THE OVEN! The warm oven acts like a little bread incubator! After 30-60 minutes, (depending on your humidity / weather) your bread will have risen & be ready to bake. Don't take it out. LEAVE IT IN THE OVEN, & turn the oven back on to 375. Set the timer for 35 minutes, & you're done! (Yes, the 35 mins includes the time it takes the oven to heat back up). Saves TONS of time! If you've kneaded your dough in the mixer for at least 12 minutes, you do NOT need to let it rise twice. It's great!

We LOVED this bread. I made a batch this morning, then another batch. The first two loaves are almost gone. Between Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches for lunch and warm from the oven slices those loaves had no chance against the seven of us. I love that it tastes soft and chewy (some would say like store-bought) but I would say it tastes much better than store bought. I am planning on cutting and then freezing the loaves for the rest of the week (or at least the next two days). I also made Bread Mix in bags and I am excited to give that a try. Honestly, this recipe was so easy I wouldn't need a mix. Also, it was a fun way for two of my daughters (8 and 6) to help me in the kitchen because it is SO SIMPLE, and wonderful, and just awesome! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!

I would love your hand out, but there are script errors on the page and it won't load. Help?!

I don't know if that would work. If you try it, let us know. Otherwise, I
can assure you that this bread doesn't taste too wheaty. It has a great
flavor.

My teenage son throws a fit if my bread is too much wheat. I would like to add oats so can I substitute fresh ground old-fashioned oats for some of the whole wheat flour?

I love what you are doing to help other with food storage. I too use a Blend-Tec grinder and love it. I love being able to grind my own wheat and know what I am getting.
