Molasses Wheat Bread


This is a recipe I adapted from a Honey Wheat Bread recipe. Do NOT use rapid rise yeast or the yeast dispensor, if your machine has one.   The loaf will be heavy, doughy in the center, will not rise properly.

1 1/8 cups water
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups whole wheat bread flour
1/2 cup unbleached white bread flour
2 tsp. active dry yeast.
