The Best, Fastest Whole Wheat Bread- That the Kids Will Love Too

"There are many perks working at the local extension office and one of them for sure is the food. One of my favorite recipes is for this delicious whole wheat bread. It is soft and light (just like white bread) and is fast to make compared to some yeast breads due to the instant yeast. Great recipe to get those kids to love whole wheat bread. I had posted a previous version of this recipe (#326380) but we have since added some additional ingredients to make it even better- an egg, some powdered milk and lecithin. Lecithin is easily found in any health food store- really helps with that soft texture I am talking about."

  1. Love this bread!! Made a sandwich with it the first time I made it and had to check the bag to make sure I hadn't used the "store" bread by mistake. I used lecithin granules as that is what I have-even used the wrong conversion amounts the first time and it was still great. Used lime juice the first time too, as that is what I had-no noticeable difference. Just made 10 more loaves to give to family-using all the correct amounts/ingredients-AWESOME!!! I have 9x5 bread pans, so I only get 2 nice fat loaves. I love also that there is only one rise time-try this -you won't be sorry.

  3. I've been looking for a really good whole wheat bread recipe for YEARS! This is OUTSTANDING! The gluten and lecithin make the texture absolutely perfect! I cannot say enough about this recipe, and the fact that it's fast and uses the kitchenaid mixer and not a bread machine is absolutely brilliant. This is a forever keeper!! Thanks for ending my search for the perfect bread recipe. :D
