Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day

By Peter Reinhart
Ten Speed Press - 2009

I've made this recipe several times now. For a 100% whole wheat artisan bread, it's light and flavorful. I have been pleasantly surprized considering my past experience with making 100% whole wheat breads. Reinhart's 100% whole wheat sandwich bread in this book is even lighter, but is much more of an enriched bread. Overall, an easy, flexible and delicious hearth bread.

This is a terrific recipe which is very attractive and very tasty. It's a medium difficulty bread (with coffee cake characteristics) and is braided. If using a blender for the frozen chocolate chips and cinnamon, I would not include the butter as it cakes the filling inside the blender. I like to brush the melted butter over the dough and then add the filling. I'll also drizzle any remaining butter over the filling.

This is now my family's favortie sandwhich bread. Having made it many times, it is the highest rising, lightest 100% whole wheat bread I have seen. I've made all of the whole wheat recipes in the book and find this one lighter than the others. I have followed the recipe exactly with excellent results and have varied the procedure some as well (using a sponge) also with excellent results. It's a clear winner for us.
