Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread

One of my biggest motivations for learning to bake bread was the amount of bread my family eats in a week.  We are a family of 4 and my kids are pretty young, but we still manage to eat close to 2 loaves of whole wheat sandwich bread each week and usually we ended up buying specialty rolls and breads for making paninis, subs, or as a side dish with dinner.  I wanted to learn how to make a good whole wheat sandwich bread that my kids would eat. I've tried a few recipes and some were way too dense, others too crumbly.  A friend of mine, sent me a recipe from the King Arthur flour website.  It was really easy to make.  The first time I made it, I did not have the white whole wheat flour, so I used traditional and it turned out fine.  This bread makes wonderful sandwiches and toast.  I haven't tried grilled cheese for the kids on it yet.  That will be the true test of this bread. The kids are used to the store bought whole wheat bread, which is nice and light. It has taken a little bit of time for the kids to get used to the more dense homemade breads.  My son is even learning that bread crust isn't such a bad thing.  If you are looking for an easy whole wheat sandwich bread, I highly recommend this one.

  2. It's mostly the angle of the camera and the smaller luncheon sized plate. It was much smaller than something you would get at a deli.
