Tuesdays with Dorie: Whole Wheat Loaves

Time for another Tuesdays with Dorie recipe!  Last month one of the recipes was popovers, which I made and promptly forgot to post about.  Oops!  There's going to be a Tuesdays with Dorie makeup day at the end of this month so I might post about the popovers then or else try another recipe.

In any case, this week's recipe is Whole Wheat Loaves.  It's a basic wheat bread recipe that uses half white flour and half whole wheat flour.  This recipe was a dream to make and would be great for a first time bread baker.  I had to sub honey for maple syrup and molasses for malt syrup, AND I got sidetracked and let my dough grow too large during the first rise, but the finished bread turned out perfect anyway:

So far we've only put butter on it, but it would be great toasted with orange marmalade or made into grilled cheese sandwiches.  It's just a nice, standard wheat bread with good texture and good flavor.  Nothing fancy, but definitely good and I will make it again for sure!

If you want to see the recipe, you can check it out at Veggie Num Nums or The Family That Bakes Together.  Enjoy!

    I don't think you can go wrong with this bread, it stands up to various rising times and substitutions really well. It's nice to have a bread recipe that never disappoints.

    My favourite recipe from the book so far. Such a versatile bread is a dream!
    And yours looks wonderful!
    We had it toasted and not-toasted with butter and honey or butter and jam,
    we use it for sandwiches or anytime we like to eat bread.
    I have tons in the freezer, now.

    Looks lovely. Mine got all brown on top and pale on the sides. Still tasted nice though.

    Nothing wrong with butter!
    And grilled cheese, well, what a wonderful ending for a couple of slices of bread.

    This would be a dream recipe to make, if you can bake with gluten. Home baked bread is always welcome, even in a gluten free kitchen. Great job.
