So, I made the attempt today, and it turned out great! I was shocked that I actually did everything right! I'm so glad that I finally know how to make bread. Here is the recipe if you want to try it. I think my problem has always been in the fact that I dont have a big mixer for the kneading. But this time I just kneaded the dough FOREVER, and I guess that's what made the difference. So is that what everyone without a bread machine or mixer does? Just knead it until your arms and wrists cramp up, and you feel carpal tunnel coming on? Whatever it takes to get some yummy bread I guess. It was worth it of course.

Thank you, Matti!
For years I have had little success with baking yeast breads. I've tried quite a few different rolls, cinnamon rolls, etc. Somehow, nothing ever turned out very good, so I gave up. But my good old Hawaii friend, Matti, posted a recipe for "Homemade Wheat Bread" a couple days ago, and I decided to give it one last shot.

Mmm, yummy, there is nothing like fresh hot homemade bread straight from the oven. I haven't ever tried to make bread. Maybe I should someday. Good job!
Congrats Ash. It looks great.
MOM
Looks yummy! I'll have to give it a try!
Wow yours looks really good. Maybe I should knead mine longer. I am kinda lazy. I don't think I knead mine more than 3 minutes. I hate touching things like dough and meat. I'm so glad it worked out well for you!! ;-) And thanks for the personal thank you!
