Comments: This bread is yummy and keeps for several days. It is good either with or without the optional seeds (I like to include the seeds). I usually use either canola or grapeseed oil. I use rapid rise yeast, and find that it takes about 2 hours to finish the bread machine cycle. If I have it available, I like to substitute white whole-wheat flour for the regular whole-wheat flour. This bread will taste differently depending on what type of honey you use (I like Whole Foods Wildflower honey, but have also used Clover or Fireweed honey).
