Karen I have this copied to my favorites and I'm get a try it real soon. I have all the ingredients. Do you think I could get away with using King Arthur bread flour instead of all-purpose flour? If not I have some hotel and restaurant flour AP that I could use. But I have a lot of KABF that I need to use up.

I think the King Arthur bread flour would work just great...I use AP because it is all I can get here, although different brands seem to vary in amount of gluten, and some of the flour I buy here is very similar to bread flour. The original recipe did not use any whole wheat - I made that change myself. Good luck with your bread baking...hope you enjoy.
