We got a Bosch mixer a few months ago with part of our tax refund and I've been trying to perfect my whole wheat bread making ever since. Unfortunately most of the time they've turned out to be bricks unless I use half wheat, half white flour. So after another failed attempt this week I emailed Jake's mom for some advice and her recipe. Then on Thursday I tried it out. I let the dough rise while we went swimming, and this is what I came back to find:
I saw this as a good sign since the yeast was obviously working pretty hard to get the dough to rise that much. So I put the dough in the bread pans, and let them rise, then stuck them in the oven to cook.
And viola, 30 minutes later this is what we had:
Tasty bread that wasn't as dense as a brick.
And of course, a posting wouldn't be complete without a cute picture or video of Rachel. So here's Rachel having lots of fun in her jumper. (Don't worry, Wendi--this time we left her arms attached.)

Whew! I'm glad you left her arms on. If I was always taking off my kids arms, you know I would totally forget to put them back on. Or I might get them mixed up and put them back on backwards. That could be a bit awkward. Congrats on the bread! Can I have a piece?
what an awesome sight of bread! I got a stand mixer recently and need to utilize it... I might have to ask for your recipe...
How cute Rachel is! She is growing up too fast! :)
