So last week for the first time I made my own bread. I found this recipe from the hobby farms website and made a loaf, Whole-wheat Bread. The cost was about $1.60 for the loaf and if I can find bulk whole wheat and yeast the cost would go down further. Normal cost of a whole wheat loaf from the grocery store is between $3.50-$4.00, so it was about half the cost to make.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looked though it was fairly dense and a little on the doughy side, I have read this is fairly common with 100% wheat breads. Any recommendations?
Edit: Uploaded photo.
biggest thing is to really work it to get to a elastic state, but whole wheat can be really hard to do that, here is a more typical sandwich type bread we make
