Thanks, buddy. Appreciate the kindness!

[@nosuchthingasahandlefools]

Define "OG" please. Never heard that "expression".

[@lf2334]

It's also important to note that this is a business that is out for profit. He is being paid to do this. I have nothing against King Arthur. I use their flour. However, accepting things as the gospel when the video is made by the brand themselves is a way to become a bot.

[@Natasha-oz6ik]

Thank you kindly

[@lisavh2]

I watched this video last night and made the bread this morning. It was very good and easy to make. I didn’t have milk so I used whole milk powder. The wheat germ topping was fantastic! Martin is a great teacher.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Brilliant, Lisa! We're glad you enjoyed the video - and now, your bread! -🥐Lily

[@whatseatingwayde]

I’m a big fan of these videos. I substituted Einkorn flour for the golden wheat and used KA bread flour along with the other ingredients. This turned out beautifully. A little denser and nuttier. A thick slice, toasted with real butter is fantastic. The original recipe is my granddaughter’s everyday sandwich bread. She loves it.

[@CookinLittle]

Wow, this came out good. I just needed a bread recipe and found this. I don't have whole wheat flour, nor wheat germ, and just used the white flour that I had, leaving the top coating off. Besides that, I followed the directions to a tee. Honestly, I've never been so successful at making bread before. It was so soft and fluffy. Thanks!

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

That's amazing! Just what we love to hear! 🍞💕 -🍰Grace

I do not have King Arthur Golden wheat, I have the White Wheat and Whole Wheat Flours. Also, Sir Lancelot flour which is amazing to bake with! Since I do not plan on purchasing any more flour until as my husband says, "Use up what you have first," Can I substitute or combine any one of the flours I have to make this recipe?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi there! You can use the White Whole Wheat (which is what our Golden Wheat was previously called!) or regular whole wheat flour here, either will do! -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@jklphoto]

Well done as always Martin! Very similar to my honey/whole wheat recipe. Good idea on the wheat germ exterior. Can I make wheat germ with my Mockmill and a fine sieve?

Has anyone making this had a problem with the bottom part of the bread not baking properly? I'll put it in at 350 for 40 minutes and the top is a golden brown, but the bottom is a soggy mess. I'm thinking it could be the pan I'm using, it's really old but I didn't think that'd make a difference.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with this loaf, Henry! What kind of material is your pan, and what are the dimensions? -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@celleduffel1533]

can this be made on dough cycle of my zoe? I have decided to try it and after about 5 minutes of mixing I checked it and it was a nice ball but still wet with lots of dough at the spindles. Yes I do weigh out everything. So I hope when the cycle is done and baked in oven that its just what my hubby wants.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

You sure can, Celle! The liquid in the recipe may need to be reduced, since this time of year is often warmer and more humid, causing doughs that are more wet.

My go to sandwich bread pan is pullman, so I'm assuming I could just put the lid on it before I pop it in the oven? As long as it's the proper size of course, and grease the inside of the lid? That wouldn't hurt

[@gwenanderson274]

The paper packaging for the flour bag never opens easily and the paper tears along the side of the bag. I buy flour for weekly bread making that has a higher quality bag that opens and closes like a sealed and air tight container. I do not buy this flour as the bag falls apart easily, wasting the flour.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Flour in airtight packaging doesn't age properly unless it's been bleached/bromated to age it chemically beforehand, since it needs exposure to air. Since none of our flours are bleached or bromated, paper packaging allows the flour to breathe so that it bakes up with the best consistency. But you should always decant your flour into a hard-sided container when you get home to prevent pests such as moths and rodents from getting in, regardless of what type of packaging it comes in! -🍮Kat

Why when I proof my loafs they get these big gas bubbles.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

That's a good sign of activity! Is this for the first or second rise, or both? -🥐Lily

[@samwithrow7309]

It’s the final rise in the loaf pan. My oven has a proofing setting and I use that. Hopefully it’s not to warm.

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

It's likely that's the issue, if you're not able to lower the temperature of the proofing setting maybe try turning it on before putting the shaped loaf in there and turning it off once the dough is in. Alternatively, it could be the way the loaf is shaped - be sure to evenly de-gas the dough when patting it out before shaping into a sandwich loaf. We hope this can help! -👩‍🍳Morgan
