One might wonder why someone would want to make store bought bread, when you can buy such a thing at the store. But one of the good things about store bought bread is the fluffiness, the sponginess; I want the taste of home made, with the texture of store bought. This loaf of whole wheat has it.
It is spongy, but it also slices cleanly and toasts well, without tearing apart when using cold butter.
I think the biggest reason, for me, is using the larger KA mixer, as hoovarmin and I discussed in a different thread. I don’t think that the bowl-lift is better than the tilt-head, but I think that one or the other fits a person’s work flow better. Like different sized baseball bats for different players, the bigger mixer does what I expect it to do, the way I expect it to. For someone else, the tilt-head may do the same.
Anyhow, now I can accept this as a repeatable satisfactory result, and move on to baking something else.
