Get Your Wheat On

The other day on Facebook, I asked if anyone had a good wheat bread recipe to share.  I received two responses from wonderful fans and thought I would share them, as well as the recipe I actually used, with you.

Jenn shared one from this site, and Cassee passed along this one her friend swears by.  Unfortunately, I did not have all the ingredients on hand for either recipe.  The latter recipe uses some ingredients that I don't usually stock in my kitchen, and the former requires honey of which I am out.  I discovered that not having honey on hand knocks out a bunch of wheat bread options.

But I finally found this sort of blended (uses both wheat and all-purpose flours) wheat roll recipe for which I had all the ingredients!

Yum to the tum!!!

The verdict:

• Baking process = easy, especially with a dough hook and stand mixer.
• Baking time = small active bake time but LONG wait (for rising) times. 
• Fresh out of the oven taste = surprisingly meh...  Good, but not mouth-watering.
• Next day taste = surprisingly super duper delicious!  I have no idea why that is or how that happened, but my husband and I both agree they tasted fabulous on day two!  Let's put it this way: I made 2 dozen, there are 2 of us plus my daughter who maybe had 1, and they were gone in less than 48 hours.  :)

In summary, this pic probably says it best:
