My friend Hanaa baked a great Whole Wheat Bread from a King Arthur's recipe and added some of her touches to it. I asked her for the recipe and added some of my touches as well!
The result was really great!
In a bowl I did sprinkle 11/2 tablespoons of yeast and a pinch of brown sugar over one cup of warm water, left it for about 5 minutes until it became foamy.
In a heavy duty mixture I combined 11/2 cup butter milk , 1/8 cup of honey, 1/8 cup of molasses, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, 2 cups of whole white wheat flour, and I added 2 tablespoons flax seeds.
I did beat at medium speed until creamy then added the yeast mixture, and 3 cups of the white whole wheat flour, 1/2 a cup at a time, I added a little bit more flour when I felt that the dough is sticky
I transfered the dough to a deep oiled bowl, turned the dough once to coat it with the olive oil.
I preferred this way more than the Bread Machine because here there is more space for the dough to rise
I covered loosely with plastic wrap, let it rise for 11/2 hours
I divided the dough in half, flattened each half into a rectangle, rolled each rectangle and sealed the ends
Then I put it in a greased loaf pan, covered it loosely with plastic wrap let it rise for another 1 hour
Baked in 350 F preheated oven until golden brown, about 40 minutes,
turned into rack until cooled completely

First of all, the house smelled terrific! The texture of the bread was wonderful, soft and fluffy. It tasted great with butter as well as with a rosemary olive oil dip!

The bread not only looks great, it feels soft and tastes wonderful. It wasn't too "wheaty" in taste or smell, which is good. We like the flavor a lot. Our only tiny comment is that maybe it was just a touch dry. I'm thinking maybe baking it a couple minutes less would "fix" it... Overall, it was a great bread and super healthy! Thanks again for sharing!
Btw, I could taste the (slight) tang from the buttermilk. It was perfect. Very nice without being overpowering (I'm not a big sour dough fan).
