1. 1

   Strictly speaking, only flour, water, yeast and salt are required to make bread. Most people like a little sweetener to round out the wheat flavor. The following recipe has a clear wheat flavor; if you like your bread sweeter, that may be because you don't really care for the taste of whole wheat. Try using King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour. It is much milder in flavor and lighter in color, but as nutritious as other whole grain flours.

2. 2

   Start with the one loaf recipe if you are new to kneading. It will take about 10 minutes to knead whereas the two-loaf version will take twice as long.
