100% WHOLE WHEAT BREAD-LOW FAT AND GOOD!
This recipe yields 3 hearty loaves of bread Here is what I love about this recipe. It's simple, uses few ingredients and you have great results every time. Don't be afraid of making this bread! This is my own take on a recipe my sister-in-law shared with me. I played around with using different ingredients and have found that for a heartier loaf (perfect as a side to a homey soup) you can add oats. Also, ground flaxseed makes a healthy addition of Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as an extra dose of fiber. This bread is not too dense, but comes out soft enough for sandwiches and freezes extremely well. It makes awesome toast for any toast lovers too!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your bread.
- Measure your ingredients accurately. This is essential for ensuring that your bread turns out correctly.
- Knead the dough properly. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give your bread a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will allow the yeast to grow and produce gas, which will cause the bread to rise.
- Bake the bread at the correct temperature. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and has a golden brown crust.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
