Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge – Light Wheat Bread
February 10, 2010 in BBA, breads
Next up on the BBA list: Light Wheat Bread. I was so excited to finally make a loaf of bread. We’ve made rolls, English muffins, crackers, and so much more but no regular sandwich bread.
The idea of this bread is that it’s 33% whole wheat flour which means you get the whole wheat taste but it’s still very light in color and it doesn’t have the heaviness that you sometimes find in whole wheat breads.
Mr. Reinhart mentioned that this is a good formula for the bread machine so that’s what I did. It really doesn’t get any easier than that. I did, however, shape it into a loaf pan after it had risen.
This bread was good but we usually prefer an entirely whole wheat bread. My husband did comment that this bread makes the best toast so I’m sure I will be making it again one day.
The Light Wheat Bread is on page 181 of The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. Visit Pinch My Salt to catch up with the other bakers.
Nom nom nom!!

Amanda, I made a loaf of Honey Wheat Bread on Monday. Didn’t use my bread machine. It was very “heavy” and as much as Pawpaw loves bread, he toasted 2 pieces and that was the end of his eating that loaf of bread. I toasted a piece and put peanut butter and jelly on it. It was the peanut butter and jelly that made it eatable. Thought I might make bread crumbs with it but decided “not”. It might ruin anything I put it in. I am going to try this recipe today and use the bread machine. Cross my fingers it turns out as good as yours.
You did a great job with this one Amanda.
