Yeah, I agree with that -- it turned out very well, so I will probably use the dry active again! John DePaula: Thanks for that info! I didn't even know there was fresh yeast. I don;t think I'm ready for that yet! ;-) Ed: Thanks! I think I may try that whole wheat bread on your site next! :) Linda: Thanks! Yeah, I agree with that — it turned out very well, so I will probably use the dry active again!

So, you could try to make the bread with AP flour, but it might not turn out quite as well. OTOH, you wouldn't want to sub bread flour in a cake or muffins, as chewy is a texture you generally don't want in those things! Am I right, bread people?
