Scrumptious!! Tried out this recipe as I'm wanting to include oat bran in my diet. Easy to make using conventional method. I increased the yeast to 3 tsp, and sub'ed soy flour for buckwheat flour as I didn't have any soy flour in pantry. Certainly a moist loaf with great texture and flavour. Next time I will try it with half the molasses and half the honey as there is quite a large amount of sweetener in this loaf which may not be necessary.

ooo, terrific bread. Used coconut flour instead of soy flour and vanilla soy milk instead of water and powdered milk. Baked in the oven at 350F for 40 min. Great for grilled cheese sandwiches, which got dipped into Curried Peanut and Tomato soup (http://www.food.com/recipe/curried-peanut-and-tomato-soup-156049). Thanks for posting!

Great flavor and very moist! I didn't have soy flour, but it turned out great. I will make again.

This is the best wheat bread I have made yet. I let the bread machine do the dirty work by putting it on the 1.5 hour dough cycle. Then I turned the dough out into a lightly greased 9x5 loaf pan and let it rise for another hour and 15 minutes. I then baked it at 350 for 30 minutes, took it out of the pan, placed it on the oven rack let it bake for another 10 minutes and I got a perfect bread with a nice crisp crust. As much as I love my bread machine, I prefer my bread baked in the oven.

Wow. This is great. I left out the soy flour because I didn't have any. But what a great bread. Wonderful texture, and fabulous flavor. Thank you so much for sharing.
