Mine is a Sunbeam. But the directions state to add wet ingredients first and then dry. I put in the water, oil, honey, then the flour, salt, dough conditioner, gluten. Last but not least I put a little "well" in the top of the dry ingredients and put the yeast in there to keep it seperated from the wet. Also- make sure your water is 80 degrees F (lukewarm) to start - that really helps. I also increased the dough conditioner to 1 tsp and my family then LOVED the results! Hope this helps!

I have wasted more flour and about to give up on wheat bread for my bread machine. I am unable becaise being disabled to knead. But I have a question. I don’t have a yeast dispenser in my machine, or a delayed start on my machine. Before I start and try again can you give me some advice on adding the yeast and about what I can do with the delayed time. I bought my machine at walmart last month and it’s an Oyster. It works great but just does not have the cycle you mention in your recipe. I don’t want to waste anymore flour and time. Thanks Bob like the looks and pictures of yoiur wheat bread recipe.

I'm mustering up the courage to grind my own wheat. I've lived with all the comments about my "strange" healthy eating. As an engineer, THANKS for the cost breakdown. And I heartily second the applesauce and flaxseed meal - sometimes I skip oil entirely with those 2 additions yeah – delightful post. I’m mustering up the courage to grind my own wheat.

It makes the bread SO much less crumbly, and it's much easier to get straight slices. One of the best things I’ve done with my bread is use an electric knife.

This gives a nice flavor from the red, but you still get the fluff and softness of the white. I make a similar recipe to Anne’s, but I use 2/3 white wheat and 1/3 red.

I add it directly to the water so it will soften. It makes the bread very moist. I like to add 1/3 cup, per loaf, potato pearl (a type of instant potatos).

It must be regional now. Consider yourself lucky if you can still find it. However, besides paying for shipping, you can still get them fairly cheap via Amazon. I also tried this recipe with cheapo Wall Mart Hard Red Whole Wheat (supposably) and it came out terrible. I guess the quality of the wheat makes a big difference. I have has the best luck with Bob's Red Mill...never got bad loaf using it... ...any body else have flour suggestions? Neither Costco near me (Greensboro and Winston Salem) carry the yeast anymore.
