So Simple Homemade Bread

I have been interested in making my own bread for quite a while now. We love our Beer Bread around here, but, regular white/wheat bread was something quite intimidating to me. Maybe it's the yeast, mixing, kneading, kneading, rising...not sure.  But, this recipe requires no kneading. None! That is my kind of bread recipe. Now, this is more of a wheat bread than white, but, the author doesn't label it as wheat.  It has both white and whole wheat flour as ingredients, so, it's just simply homemade bread.  If you have been a bit shy of making your own bread. Fear No More! Here is a bread for you.   It crunchy on the outside and nice and soft in the inside.
