I love this bread! It’s so soft and yummy. I didn’t have the vital wheat gluten but look forward to trying it. I also didn’t have any honey so I substituted molasses. It didn’t give as much sweetness to the bread, as I’m sure the honey does, so I look forward to using one on my next loaf.

This is amazing bread and I agree it will be hard not to become a bread snob!! New to making bread and used a Kitchenaid mixer with a dough hook. Turned out wonderfully!!

In reply to LA. Hi LA. If you don't have vital wheat gluten, simply omit it from the recipe. The loaf won't be quite as soft and fluffy, but still delicious.

Can I substitute bread flour for vital wheat gluten?

In reply to Ann. Hi Ann! Unfortunately, this dough is fairly soft and needs the sides of the loaf pan to help it rise correctly and bake evenly. You may want to try my recipe for No-Knead Dutch Oven Bread.

I don't have loaf pans or a bread maker. Can I bake it on a sheet pan in the oven?

In reply to Victoria. Hi Victoria! This recipe makes two 1-pound loaves. However, most bread machines are for a 2-pound loaf. If you are making this using the bread machine, it will make a 2-pound loaf.

In reply to Michael Ridder. Does this make one or 2 loaves?

This is some of the best homemade bread I’ve made. Super easy recipe to follow. I made it in the bread machine and it came out perfect!

Thanks so much for the recipe! It is awesome! I never thought I would say that about wheat bread.
I use the dough cycle on my bread machine, take it out after the dough cycle (which includes rising stages), get the air bubbles out, put it in a bread pan and let it rise again for about 40 minutes and finish it in the oven. It's really the best of both worlds.

In reply to Anita. Hi Anita! I am so happy to hear you enjoy the bread recipe. Using whole wheat bread flour vs whole wheat flour should not change the recipe in any way.

This is the best bread recipe I have ever used. It is so satisfying not to use anything except 100% whole wheat flour,which makes this recipe totally awesome. I have been using whole wheat bread flour. Should I use more liquid? I have just been using less flour. What is the best method? Anita

It’s a keeper! Kids and hubby can’t put a finger on what exactly it is but after one bite everybody said this is a keeper which is great since I have alot of freshly milled hard red wheat flour to use up! I kinda mixed the two directions together. Made dough in the bread machine but then after second rise baked in oven.

In reply to Christina. Thanks for sharing that tip about Xantham Gum. That is new to me! And so happy to hear you and your husband love this bread.

Love this recipe! Beautiful rise. Soft and tender. Perfection. Even my "white bread, white rice, nothing healthy-eating" husband enjoyed it
I did not have the Wheat Gluten, so I researched and saw that I could substitute with Xantham Gum (which I fortunately had)
Thanks for a great recipe!
