I've tried other bread recipes, but this one is a staple in our home. I won $50 in a bake-off with a loaf that I had stored in the freezer. —Mickey Turner, Grants Pass, Oregon

My Mom and I both love this recipe and have made it often. I sometimes increase the bread flour to make it a little taller, but the flavor of this bread is amazing, a #1 for me.

This makes great sandwiches and toast. I have used it to also make wonderful cinnamon rolls and cinnamon bread. I just left out the sunflower seeds.

Followed the recipe - too heavy and salty...will make again with decreased salt and increased bread flour

I'm still working on the adjustments for above 5,000 feet and will submit when I have it down, but did want to say this is one fantastic REAL whole wheat loaf. Full and flavor and nutrition and I don't care if it sinks in the middle - but I will get it corrected shortly because I make it once a week.

Awesome! My husband is my best critic, and he usually doesn't like the dry/denseness of my whole wheat breads. I followed this recipe to the T, and he absolutely LOVED it. I have to say it was intensly moist myself. THIS is my new whole wheat bread recipe now! :) Sheer Awesomeness!!

I absolutely love this bread! I made it a few days ago to go with a black bean pumpkin chili from TOH has well and it turned out wonderfully. I was so surprised how moist it was and very excited that it makes 3 loaves. I have tried many whole wheat recipes but they almost always had a blend of whole wheat and white flour and I try to keep as much white flour out of our diets. Every time I tried to make them with all whole wheat, they never turned out. This one was awesome my husband and kids devoured it. This is my new go to bread recipe. thank you so much!

I made this bread (1/3 recipe) completely in my bread machine. I did add 1 1/4 Tsp of vital wheat gluten; also, I added extra water (1 1/2 Tbsp) This is the first 100% wheat bread that turned out moist and light. There are only two of us and I make bread at least twice a week. This will be great to alternate with our usual multi-grain.

This is a great recipe! We made it exactly as printed and it was wonderful! We will add more sunflower seeds next time, as we enjoy their crunch and nutty goodness!
