Honey Whole wheat Loaf bread
I like to bake. That’s it in a nutshell. I am diabetic, so the pastries and other sweet good I don’t make very often. Though I do love bread, all kinds of bread to be honest.
I have been working with and modifying this recipe for some time trying to make the kind of bread I enjoy eating. I believe I have succeeded in doing just that.
I have a KitchenAid Commercial 8-quart Stand mixer so some of you might have to scale back this recipe It requires three 8 x 4 loaf pans. The recipe follows along with some pictures.
I do hope you like this recipe I bake this bread once a week.
