Dasha wanted me to post the recipe for wheat bread I have been using. I got it off the container for the dough enhancer (Blue Chip is the brand I think) I bought. The recipe will make 4 loaves so if you want only 2, cut it in half :). I think that using the dough enhancer and the Vital Wheat Gluten make the bread not as crumbly as previous loaves of bread I have made. It seems to last a bit longer. Also, mom pointed out that yeast and salt don't interact well together. The first few times I made this recipe, it didn't rise as well. The last time I cut the salt in 1/2 and it rose like crazy. It didn't taste any different either. So here you go Dasha!!!

Thanks Suzy!! where do you get dough enhancer? i've never even heard about such a thing...:) and matt would have to knead the dough, cause i don't have a mixer... :)) but i will definetely try making this bread.. i love homemade breads...
Hey Dasha! I got the dough enhancer at Walmart - they probably only sell it at Walmart in Utah. It is a Salt Lake based company called the Blue Chip Group. They might have something similar at a Whole Foods or somewhere like that.
