LIGHT WHEAT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)



Light Wheat Bread (Bread Machine) image

This bread was tested in Taste of Home's test kitchen so you know it's good! It has a slightly sweet taste. It is not a dense bread but very light and moist. I added 1 tsp. of vital gluten and cut the yeast down to 2 tsps. It's a high riser! I also did this on my dough cycle and then baked it in my regular oven. I found that I had to add a little more flour as it started mixing.
