I used all white whole wheat (as it's the only whole wheat I buy) and blackstrap molasses (as sugar ain't our thing in Lent). <br />I did crack up at the cuteness of eating *half* a loaf for lunch, though you did acknowledge those days are numbered. ;-)<br />Thanks again!Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980588863109281657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-15624505452332819022015-03-02T15:57:10.195-05:002015-03-02T15:57:10.195-05:00Yay!

My sister buys the huge packages for me from BJ's since it's WAY cheaper and we use so much!Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-69168612491515657952015-02-27T15:53:23.096-05:002015-02-27T15:53:23.096-05:00Thank you for this yummy recipe!

I thought I would get all into making fresh loaves of bread every morning but when I tried, I just ended up throwing out the dough - I am pretty sure I killed the yeast, but oh well. Now, would you say 1TBsp of active yeast is equal to one package of yeast? I'll try again and let you know how I make out!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037300765670839439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-84799490637356364682015-02-27T15:33:37.703-05:002015-02-27T15:33:37.703-05:00Hey Kari, I've never done it but I would guess...Hey Kari, I've never done it but I would guess you could mix with a wooden spoon and then knead by hand until it's all combined? I mean, that's what they did back in the day so it must work, right? But I can't guarantee since I've never done it myself! Let me know if you try it and it works!

I can't find a good recipe. I use one in the manual that is simple but it's not that great and it's a 2-lb loaf which is too big. Your bread looks wonderful! I may use half whole wheat white flour as I think the 100% whole wheat flour is just too much and makes it too dense. (Even though I have an awesome source for flour-organic and she grinds it up for me while I wait!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215156031742880552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-60268126652498007892015-02-27T14:48:18.085-05:002015-02-27T14:48:18.085-05:00Okay.
