Love homemade bread, bookmarking this, might not have to hand knead it since I have a kitchen aide mixer. Great post.

I will bookmark. It's nice to see a bread that you don't have to use a bread machine for. It looks good too!

I use my kitchen-aid to get it started, then I hand knead...so I can feel the fibers and know when it is ready...letting it rise for a total of 4 hours makes a difference in the texture. My family loves this bread...slices nicely for sandwiches. Great alternative for those of us that don't want the high fructose corn syrup that they put in commercial breads.

Instead of shortening, I have used natural no sugar added applesauce (1/3 cup) and naturally hydrogenated all-vegetable shortening (like at the health food store) made from palm kernel oil (cold-pressed, no heat or chemicals)
