“I love this whole-grain bread because it makes a pretty loaf with a great texture," says Carol Forcum of Marion, Illinois. "It's not at all heavy…in spite of the whole-wheat flour and wheat germ.”

What is bread flour:

Bread flour is a high-gluten flour that has very small amounts of malted barley flour and vitamin C or potassium bromate added. The barley flour helps the yeast work, and the other additive increases the elasticity of the gluten and its ability to retain gas as the dough rises and bakes. Bread flour is called for in many bread and pizza crust recipes where you want the loftiness or chewiness that the extra gluten provides. It is especially useful as a component in rye, barley and other mixed-grain breads, where the added lift of the bread flour is necessary to boost the other grains.

After settling in a routine of making a nice homemade white bread, I tried the Yougurt Wheat Bread recipe.

I did use cooked bulgar wheat cereal in place of the wheat germ, because it's what I had on hand; plus I added an egg to the recipe- which is something I generally do every time I bake bread.

Thanks to Carol Forcum for contributing this recipe; it makes wonderful toast!
