King Arthur's 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

"This recipe is from King Arthur Flour. This makes a great bread! This is the recipe from their website, I actually did not have the bread improver it calls for, but if you add a 1/4 vital wheat gluten I think it does the same thing, because it came out great when I made it (if you add the wheat gluten, then subtract 1/4 cup whole wheat flour) I also used their grain mix instead of the sunflower seeds and walnuts, but I'm sure whatever you like will taste great. Enjoy!"

  1. I love this, though I think it could be a bit sweeter. Next time I will try a KAF suggestion and replace 1/3 cup of water with an equal amount of orange juice. I didn't have bread improver or vital wheat gluten and it still came out very well. Mine was done in just under 40 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Well, I live on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I am not Puerto Rican, but I have been living here for about 7 years, which is long enough to make me thoroughly confused as to what my own culture is. My husband is actually not Puerto Rican but half Costa Rican, so now our family is even more culture shocked. We make the most of it. Passions? Hobbies? It's hard to chose which ranks over the other, so I will say it is a tie, but cooking/baking and photography are at the top of my "hobbies" list. It's funny because I never went to school for either, which many are surprised to learn that, since my dedication to both hobbies as yeilded some pretty cool results. Amazing what you can learn from books! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
