The Best Ever Whole Wheat Bread

This bread is legendary! Seriously! People have loved and begged for this bread recipe where ever we bring it. I even remember one of my friends in 2nd grade telling me that this is the best bread she has every had. We make it every Saturday to meet our sandwich and toast needs throughout the week.
