My favorite wheat bread as of late! This bread has great taste and texture. It was given to me by a friend (a huge thank you), she uses one cup of wheat flour and the rest white. I'm afraid to do that for fear that my kids will like it better than mostly wheat!
This looks delish! My family has been fighting the switch to wheat, this might be a good one to start making with the one cup of wheat flour then gradually shifting to a higher wheat content.
