The average person is not going to know how much to knead in and do the time it takes. The KItchen Aid stand mixer makes the best bread, however after you master that it makes much easier to do all of it by hand. Also to get what is really soft airy bread you need something all bakeries use and that is dough enhancer. It helps to make light and retards spoilage as fresh bread does not keep but a couple days. Hodgsen Mills is the one I use currently and went from good to great bread.

Can I use this recipe to make dinner rolls and sausage bun instead of loaf bread?

Great, but I want to make a light, airy wheat bread. Is this possible? I have bread flour, durum flour, wheat, and all purpose flours as well as vital wheat gluten.

I am baking SPROUTED wheat bread right now!! Healthier, ALIVE and LOW in carbs! Once you sprout the grain, it bemoes a plant and alive and the Carbs are lower!! Ezekiel bread is the kind you buy in the store,, I am baking it with added Lecithin and Malted Barley liquid for lightness, I will try Dough Enhancer, if nneded, next time, I lOVE My Kitchen Aid Pro 600 for bread !!!
