Ok- so these ones got a little bit out of control! I thought I had just left them, but when I turned around and they had gone all wild! It was rather warm in the kitchen...
Now granted, the recipe is only about 1/3 whole wheat (I used about 50/50 in my last batch though and it worked fine), I still feel like it is better than anything I could buy in the store because I know every last ingredient that goes into it. It also calls for white sugar which I substituted for Sucanant in my last batch and it also worked just fine.
Before baking- I still can't believe that I was able to make this! Marmee's DVD directions were so clear and helpful that pretty much anyone could take on this seemingly difficult baked good!
Along with making straight up loafs of this dreamy bread, I followed Marmee's instructions in her Make it Special DVD to create a Garlic Mozzarella Sesame Parmesan Braid. We paired it with some homemade chicken and rice soup and it was AMAZING! The smell of it baking darn near made me want to crawl into the oven. This recipe alone is reason enough to go get the Bread Basket Cookbook and Marmee's Bread Market! And of course, to make it ultimately easy and wonderful to make, you should definitely think about getting a Bosch Universal Mixer... I'm just sayin'!
