Recipe Review

12th April 2010

bes30 from ,

I love whole wheat bread for sandwiches, but had not been too successful with hearth breads just yet. Most of my other attempts had been with sourdough, so I was eager to try one with active dry yeast.

Since this is a free form loaf, the shaping equipment is very important to achieve a great rise with good thickness, so it can be used for sandwich bread that doesn’t have too much waste from the ends. This recipe was super simple and produced a great rise. I was amazed on how much rise I got and wondered if there was an issue with my other hearth breads, namely the sourdough “purist” versions.

This bread is great for sandwiches or just snacking on and was gobbled up in no time. One of my favorites.
