One of the hardest part of dieting, for me is not being able to eat home made breads. My favorite is Sourdough, but I thought I would try a wheat bread in my bread maker. Since Weight Watchers tells you to eat wheat breads, I found this recipe for a bread maker and had to try it.
I pulled the East Whole Wheat Bread recipe from the Better Homes & Gardens New Cook Book. Below is the recipe that I used.
