I've been looking around for a recipe on wholemeal bread. I know that recipe coming from you is one of the best. Could you post it or email me at wookarine@yahoo.com? Thank you. Btw, what kind of baking tin do you use to give this typical bread shape? Do you mind if you post it to show us? Thanks a lot!!!

Hi Yochana,

You said mixing bowl, do you mean cake mixer? Are you using commercial cake mixer or Kitchen-Aid for all your bakes (bread & cakes) Can we use hands to knead bread dough? Thks

Hi Aunty,

Thanks so much for posting your recipe. Can I replace shortening with butter in this recipe?

Thanks again.

Hi 3 princesses

Better to use shortening but you can use butter too if you want to.
