  1. Hi. I followed the recipe word by word but not getting the fluffy bread. It’s comes out looking like a semi cooked loaf of flour. Is there any way to send you picture so you can have a look and tell what I am doing wrong.

    1. Thank you for trying the recipe. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t turn out well. Small things like yeast proofing, kneading, or oven heat can make a difference.

      You can send me a photo by contacting me through the About page on the website where my email is mentioned. I’ll take a look and share some tips to help you.

  2. Hello ma’am! I’m going to try making this bread for my parents and I was just wondering if an 8×4 inch tin would work to bake this? Or should i take out some portion of the dough?

    1. There is no need to separate any portion of the dough. It will fit and work well in an 8×4 inches tin; the only difference is that the rise will be slightly higher.

      Such a lovely gesture to make a wheat loaf for your parents!

  3. Thanks Dassana, recipe was simple, easy to follow and bread came out very well. I am following your recipes especially the whole wheat bakes from over a decade now. It has made my life easy and helped me to give healthy bakes to my family.5 stars

  4. Thank you, this recipe is perfect. Tried it for the first time and turned out wonderful.

    Instructions have been easily laid out, easy to follow recipe.

    1. Hi I made the bread, but the loaf is too small, like a normal loaf cut in half horizontally. I followed your exact measurements.

      1. Looks like the bread dough did not leaven or rise well. The recipe shared here gives a regular sized bread loaf if the dough increases in volume in the both the first rise or the second rise. I hope this helps.

        1. Hello, I made it again and made sure the dough rises very well. Still the same result. Can it be because my loaf pan is 10.5*5.5 inches?

          1. Not sure about this one but I guess this may be the reason. Try increasing the proportions of the ingredients to fit in your loaf pan.

  5. I try to bake a whole wheat bread with insta yeast but some how it is dense and heavy. Do I need to change something. Look wise it is good.

    1. Mostly what is sold as instant yeast is actually dry active yeast. Instant Yeast has fine round granules like that of poppy seeds. If the size is larger it is most probably active dry yeast and it needs to be activated in a lukewarm sugar solution.

      If is is not activated, this will result in a dense and heavy bread. Also dry active yeast will take more time for the first rise and second rise than than instant yeast. Do check the description on the pack and the directions. This may guide you in letting you know the actual type of yeast in the pack. I hope this helps.

  6. Bread came out really well but the loaf was too small. If I double the recipe, quantity of yeast and sugar also to be doubled?

    1. Did you use the correct measuring cups and spoons. It is a regular loaf of bread and not a small one. If you double, the yeast and sugar will also double.

  7. Hello Dassana, I’ve been making my own bread at home for a couple of years now and it was good, but since I found your recipe with whole wheat I can’t do it otherwise! It’s simply perfect and delicious, thanks so much for sharing!!!5 stars
