The original recipe used all white flour but we have found we prefer the half and half. It is a good bread to serve with soups and spaghetti. Preparation includes rise time.

This is the best whole wheat French bread recipe I've ever tried. It's so easy to make and the bread turns out perfect every time. I love the slightly nutty flavor of the whole wheat flour. I've made this bread for sandwiches, toast, and even crouton

The bread was good, but it was a little too dense for my taste. I think I might try using a different type of flour next time.
