The Sturdiwheat Golden Grain was the first bread tested and dried out (crack in loaf) by the last day of testing, though it is still representative of size and crust thickness

Test Score:  4 Stars

Test Notes:

This bread machine produced nice sized loaves.  It did not get an “Excellent” for appearance because the crowns of the loaves were very rough/choppy not smooth.  This did not affect the crust much but did look notably different than the other machines’ loaves.  It has a relatively short bake cycle for whole wheat coming in 77 minutes shorter than the longest cycle and only 11 minutes from the shortest cycle.
