This homemade whole wheat bread recipe is so simple, I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you're like me and having a hard time finding bread at grocery stores near you right now. If you do make this bread be sure to post it on instagram and tag me so I can see it! I love seeing when you guys try the recipes from my videos!

[@s.ortiz-timm8]

When you said, “this is a soft dough” that is perfect and what you want. Don’t rip through your dough to make it take more flour. The recipe is giving the max amount of flour to add. Before you add the last cup of flour dump the dough on the counter and need in as much of the last cup as you can. You may not get it all in that’s okay. You are adding too much flour and it will make your dough dry and tough.

[@NoEggCraig]

Thanks, that's very helpful!

The steam in the oven helps create the crust on the outside; it mimics the fancy steam ovens in bakeries. You can also just throw some ice cubes on a sheet tray underneath and it works better, and can definitely use a thermometer to check the inside temp of the bread to make sure it's fully cooked. You can find the correct temperatures online :)

[@NoEggCraig]

Thanks! Maybe I'll get a bread thermometer and ice cubes on a tray does sound safer 😂

As a professional Baker I recommend using a stand mixer with a dough hook. Also yeast reacts once added to water but over mixing cause tough bread. But you did awesome !!

I'm so glad I found your channel (and Hercules' as well)! I have been diagnosed with an auto immune disease as well and watching your channel made me realize that going vegan or at least eating more vegan foods won't be as hard to do as I initially thought. Im hoping it will help me at least a little because the pain, loss of feeling and weakness is really becoming hard to manage

[@NoEggCraig]

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis Jacqueline, but I'm happy to hear I could help!

[@jubilantjane5149]

Happy Anniversary to Terry and Steve! Congratulations on 36 years...may you both have many, many more to celebrate! The bread looked delicious Craig! In between the rising I would roll it out flat, sprinkle the seeds and oats and then roll up forming a loaf shape to make sure the seeds and oats are evenly distributed throughout. Funny thing...you had an ad for freeze dried raw meat dog food at the beginning of the video. Great bread reviews by Steve, Terry, Max and Sam! 😊

[@NoEggCraig]

That's a good idea to get the seeds and oats mixed in better! Thanks Jane!

happy anniversary to steve & terry!!! that SAF is the best yeast & if you keep it in a container in the freezer it will last for years. I still have some from 2003 & it works every time!

[@ginduf]

good job craig! you can mix the nuts/seeds in with your liquid and then add the flour, that way you'll have seeds all through it. i have mixed chopped garlic and nuts and seeds like (caraway, kalonji, cumin or whatever flavorful spice seeds you're feeling like and/or flax, chia, sunflower, etc.), chopped nuts and/or dried fruit.

[@NoEggCraig]

That's good to know! Thank you!

[@kristikremic7505]

That's what great grandma taught me too...seeds and cooked oats into your water/oil, before you add any flour. Looks great.

[@reneeadamson5731]

To answer some of the question you had, the water in the pot is a to make a crisper crust, to even out the seed distribution role out the bread place seeds evenly then role it up knead. Thanks for sharing. Love both channels.

Since your bread was a hit..... I'm going to make it. I make bread quite a lot. I am looking for the perfect consistency (soft) in bread for sandwiches that I don't have to cut thick and will hold together while applying peanut butter. Thanks again and I'll be looking forward to your next video.

[@NoEggCraig]

Let me know how you like it! And this is definitely a good recipe for that!

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

That thumbnail is very (green) eye catching! Baker Craig, you're getting better and better at making loaves!

[@ellelorraine3540]

Of course I can't taste it, but it looks excellent! Lovely density and crust. Good job! My grandmother always said, "Its in the wrist".❤😘

[@wendypoole7041]

The steam from the bread gives the bread a crunchy crust, delicious. So jealous Craig because I have an in tolerance to yeast. Miss bread so much

[@NoEggCraig]

My condolences Wendy. 😭

[@marleenhoncoop4188]

Wendy Poole can you tolerate sour dough?

[@wendypoole7041]

I can tolerate sour dough in very small quantities but suffer afterwards. Soda bread is ok but it's just not the same, taste consistency or smell.😕

[@trishajohnson7237]

If you save the little brown jar, you can refill it from the large bag as needed. I just bought the exact same bag for the same reason. I've read you can freeze the large bag, just let the yeast come to room temp before you use it. Looks yummy!

Happy Anniversary, Terry and Steve! Gosh, Craig, the edit at 3:44........ If you do exercising on Friday I can sit on the floor and eat energy balls, haha:) The bread looked so yummy, btw. What if you rolled the bread out a little and then sprinkled the seeds on then roll it back up like a cinnamon roll, wouldn't the seeds be inside? All I can think about is eating bread now:) Looking forward to Friday:)

[@NoEggCraig]

hahaha I don't think you're the only one I surprised with the edit at 3:44 😂 It looks like I won't be doing a workout livestream though, so energy balls it is, so we'll both be eating energy balls!

[@pi8506]

Try putting the seeds in before the 1st kneading. It's hard to mix in evenly on the 2nd kneading bc of the flour. I find it lets the seeds even out. The bread looks awesome tho. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy..

[@jeaniegallo4693]

The bag of yeast was a hard block because it was vacuum packed. You can find coffee "bricks" like that too.

[@NoEggCraig]

My mind was blown 😂 apparently it doesn't take much to do that though haha

[@jeaniegallo4693]

@@NoEggCraig That was funny when you said..this thing is so hard as you opened it so excited to show us the brick, then it was soft before you could show us. It kinda broke my heart. I think we all did that the first time we bought a vacuumed brick. Also, your bread looked great (and I'm Italian. So, that's a big compliment.)

[@leannaskinner8495]

the price for that yeast is correct. That is a lot of yeast, when I used to bake for a family of 8 I used that yeast all the time. To keep it from going bad you put it in a jar and keep the majority of the pkg. in the freezer and keep a small jar in the fridge. love your video

[@elizabethwilliams1523]

Wow. Great bread Craig. Love the sound of the bread being sliced.

[@angelareinke9504]

Great video, I have a little suggestion, if you tap the top of the bread it should sound hollow that’s how you can check it see if it’s done, and I think with two breads in the oven at the same time it does take a bit longer. Keep up the great baking! And recipes always gives you the total amount of flour, so make sure you save the last cup for adding when you kneed.

[@martymahem236]

The steam from the water is to give the bread a nice crust.

[@juliaorgantini143]

Thanks for the video! I've never had much success with making wheat bread, I plan on trying this in the very near future. Happy Anniversary to your parents! My hubby and I are close behind them, we'll hit the 35 year mark in August.

I watched a KZbin post from another company that claimed to do handmade candies. This looked like a large company. They did the same product as Hercules, but it was very heart breaking to watch. There was no joy whatsoever. No one was laughing, or talking to each other. It looked very uncomfortable to be there. I'm so glad for your videos. God bless Hercules and all of your family and co-workers. Thank you for bringing us joy... P.S. Your dad reminds me of Leslie Neilsen. :)

[@kimmieskreations1969]

i love making homemade bread, I think fresh bread is so much better than what you get in the stores. I love baking bread so much that my husband got me a kitchen aid stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, it makes kneading bread so much easier for me now. I bet that bread would be amazing toasted with peanut butter spread all over it.

[@SRFMLY1975]

Wow huge well done, looks so soft and tasty, may need to try this ty

[@happycamper4thewin]

What a lovely and relaxing video! I hope that you do more cooking videos 😀🙏💜

[@ivybelle3337]

Great video! If you coat the seeds/oats in flour, they won't sink to the bottom or clump together. I do that with chocolate chips when I make banana bread. It keeps the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom or clumping.

you can use the yoghurt function on your instant pot to proof your dough.

*scoops flour straight out of the bag* “now I can do it the correct way” me, a baker: *panic attack commences*

[@NoEggCraig]

Wait...What's wrong with that?

[@littlepatrinka7941]

I think you’re supposed to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off, if you scoop it from the bag, or container it’s getting packed down and will most likely be too much. That’s why a lot of bakers weigh their ingredients.
