Great! I made this bread but added flax seed and walnuts and it turned out so very yummy. I really liked the taste of honey since I used white sugar in the past.

This was my first attempt at bread making in years and it turned out very well. I used a fabulous machine called an AEG Assistant. If you are a serious bread-maker this is a terrific mixer. Since I bought mine I have seen several listed on Ebay. Well worth the money. The bread is awesome. Love that it is whole wheat since we are trying to be health concious. My husband would rather have this for dessert than sweets!

Excellent for beginners! I've never made homemade bread before this, and was quite nervous. It took a few tries to get the folding/pinching down pat, but now I'm a "pro"! I make this recipe once or twice a week...so much so that I've got the recipe memorized. My kids absolutely love this bread and beg for a piece right out of the oven (with butter on it). I also use it to make PB&J sandwiches, which they have almost daily. The loaves freeze well, so you can always have fresh bread on hand! I'll never buy store bought bread again! (I agree with the PPs that the honey taste is lost, but I don't miss it. I would venture to say you could add more honey to increase the intensity, though I'm not sure how that would effect the over all cooking process.)

This is the BEST bread and the easiest for a beginner. I like the use of honey instead of sugar. Plus I have used whole wheat white instead of all purpose flour and it still turns out great however I only use 3-3 1/2 cups. I only bake it at 350 for 30 minutes and its moist and the shelf life at least for winter months has been excellant. I do use a kithen aid mixer but it has been almost the only bread I have found to be successful without getting frustrated ! I highly recommend this recipe....
