This week’s recipe that goes along with our Healthy Habit couldn’t really be any easier! This time instead of you doing all of the work, your bread machine does it! I have a BREADMAN convection machine and it works wonderfully for me. My husband and I love fresh bread and this guy does most of the work for me making it possible for us to enjoy fresh bread on a regular basis.

This whole wheat sandwich bread is perfect for both those who already enjoy whole wheat and those who are still skeptics. Good plain, toasted, with pb&j, or however else you like your bread! It is moist, smooth and hearty. Plus, it provides a wonderful aroma to fill your house throughout the baking process! 🙂
Make a loaf this weekend and you’ll have fresh, healthy bread for school lunches. And this week you can bring your lunch to work, too!

I know this is an older recipe, but I have a question. Do you think this recipe would work with a buttermilk substitute (milk and lemon juice or vinegar) or with powdered buttermilk?

You can use a substitute with milk and lemon juice or you can use plain milk. The texture will only be slightly different. I hope that helps!

I'm actually a huge fan of whole wheat bread but I've never attempted to make it on my own. Your recipe sounds perfect!
