I'M SO HAPPY...I found bread that I can have while I'm on weight watchers! My husband will be so happy, I told him I wouldn't be baking fresh bread as much as I was because I am dieting. Well, now I can, this bread is wonderful! I made mine into 6 rolls actually to use for sandwiches. They are the perfect size and and just under 3 points per roll. I counted 16 points for the entire loaf. Next time I will double it so I can get 12 rolls. I used my kitcheaid mixer and did it a little different than you suggested. I added the water to the yeast in the bowl first and let it proof for about 5 minutes. Then I added the sugar, salt, olive oil and dry milk, mixed that with the paddle. Then I added both flours and mixed again. I removed the paddle and added the dough hook and kneaded on speed #2 for almost 10 minutes. Then I let it rise covered for an hour. I then punched down the dough and made it into 6 rolls. I thought the dough was slightly dry, but I live in a dry area so I just rubbed a little oil on my hands and problem solved. I covered them again, let them rise another 45 minutes until they doubled again and then baked them for 30 minutes. Easy and perfect, just what I needed. Thanks so much I will be making these often!

Wonderful, TEN star recipe Sewwhatsports. I was looking for a sourdough bread that would fit into the WW program and this was the closest I could come. So I did change it quite a bit, but couldn't have done that without this basic bread recipe. I eliminated the yeast, added a cup of sourdough starter, used only 1 tablespoon of sugar (used Splenda for baking) and adjusted the flour at the end to achieve the right texture with the added starter. It came out great and will make wonderful toast, sliced bread or even sandwiches. Thanks for posting.
