Once again I have been in search of a loaf of WW bread that my husband would eat. In other words, a brown wonderbread. I mentioned in another post about my first loaves of WW bread. They turned out great. I have had problems recreating that elusive loaf, since that time. The reason those first loaves were so light and fluffy was because I accidently used about double the amount of yeast called for. The recipe called for 4.5 teaspoons, but I used 4.5 TABLESPOONS! No wonder the bread was so light a fluffy. I thought I would try it with the white wheat I had just gotten from the cannery. Yesterday, 2 ten pound bricks were produced in the kitchen. I was determined to make a decent loaf of bread again. Today I thought, 'what the heck', so I doubled the yeast. My DH said he would actually eat the bread in a sandwich if I made it. YES!
I can tell I need the 50 lb. sack of wheat and probably about the same amount of yeast. That's a lot of yeast for 2 loaves of bread. ( And no, that's a stock photo and not mine.)
