I have recently been successful in making Artisan baguettes but often they require almost a whole day to make. I hoped that this recipe would give me a faster bread occasionally. The recipe promises a loaf of bread in about 2 hours and that is what you get. Basically you need 11 oz of bread flour, 2 oz of whole wheat flour, 1 tbs honey and 2 1/4 tbs instant yeast plus lots of very warm water. I have a personal dislike for sweet whole wheat bread and was afraid of the honey but the bread was not sweet at all. I am very pleased with this bread. We did make sandwiches using our leftover ham. The bread is not exactly the same as store bought sandwich bread, but we enjoyed our sandwiches. In fact they were delicious. The author warns that the bread is best used the same day made but we were very happy with the bread toasted the next day. The bread can be frozen. I plan to make this or other quick breads at least once a week.
