     There was a question earlier as to "how much yeast is in a packet?" the answer is 2-1/4 tsp. - 2/24/09

     It makes great rolls too! Let rise once in machine, Divide dough into 12 pieces, roll into balls and let rise on cookie sheets. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder, bake for 15 minutes at 350 Makes a great sandwich bun. - 1/29/10

     The flavor, light texture and thin crust of this bread is awesome!! I accidentally overlooked the first two sentences and didn't pre-mix. I just put the water, sugar, egg, salt, and oil in the machine and then put the flour and yeast on top. I did stop the machine and start over as instructed. - 7/18/09

     I made this using my kitchenaid mixer and letting it rise normally. I did allow 3 rise sessions before baking @ 350degrees for @ 30 minutes. I also added 4 tsps of vital wheat gluten and sifted the flour first before mixing up the dough.
    It came out marvelous! My kids love it! Thanks for sharin - 11/4/09

     18 tablespoons is NOT 6 ounces, it is 9 ounces (1 cup + 2 tablesppons). A tablespoon is half an ounce, two tablespoons is an ounce, and 16 tablespoons is a cup (8 ounces). - 11/26/17

     What a pleasant surprise!! Light, fluffy whole wheat bread!
    I doubted the recipe (as did many people), but adding that extra cycle by turning the machine off made an amazing difference.
    Thank you so much for posting it, I make this all the time
    now. For those who don't know, 18TBL = 1 cup + 2T - 6/11/13

     18 Tbsp=9 oz. I added 4 tsp vital wheat gluten, used 1 tsp salt, substituted light brown sugar & coconut oil (canola is GMO) & added 2 scoops chia seeds for extra nutrition (Omega 3's & fiber). - 3/11/13
  • CD13662116
     So good! After reading the comments below, I increased the salt to 1 teaspoon.

    Also, I'm vegan, so I substituted the egg with a flax and water mixture. The bread was moist, light, and the crust was great! Even after a few days in the fridge, it was still delicious! - 2/16/13
  • WIZKINS
     quite possibly the worst bread I have ever made, it never rose and turned out like a brick - 2/10/13
  • DIANNE467
     I was skeptical with the instructions like others, but am glad to be proven wrong! This bread is wonderful! The only things I changed was to add 3 tsp of vital wheat gluten (habit, I add to all my bread machine recipes) and increased to 1 tsp of salt. Very soft, light, wheat bread. Delicious!! - 1/20/13

     How do I convert your recipe for making it by hand? - 12/11/12
  • CD12295136
     I am going to make this bread but I am wondering if there are directions for just just using the bread machine to make the dough and then using the oven to bake the bread. I don't like to bake the bread in the machine. How long to cook in the oven and what temp? Anybody try this? - 4/24/12
  • AMANDA_C
     AMAZING rolls!!! - 2/4/12
  • KACYBEE15
     This was an awesome recipe! The bread is hearty and very tasty. We will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing! - 6/17/11
  • REDROZEZ88
     This was so light and fluffy! It is perfect!

    If you are having problems with the top collapsing - add 1/2 tsp more salt. Salt helps stabilize the yeast. - 5/25/11
  • KTRIBE808
