"This can also be made into 12 buns. For a round loaf..I use a springform pan ring so that the dough does not spread too much during the rising. The rising time is variable so has not been included."

Awesome recipe! Makes 12 very lovely and tasty buns! Because of the sage, these reminded us of a stuffing flavor. I made them for Easter dinner, and used some 1970's sourdough starter I got from Galley Wench. I also used half whole wheat flour as you suggested. The store was out of fresh sage, so I used a quality dried chopped sage. I don't have much experience making bread, and don't have a kitchen aid or bread maker to knead it for me, so this was kneaded with love by myself, my Mother, my toddler Max and Hubby! Hubby really put the power into it, and said he wants to take up bread making now. I rolled them into rolls, placed them in a greased 13x9 pan, and was amazed at how beautifully they rose and baked for soft pull apart rolls! Thanks for the great family experience Luv! I almost let Freddy Cat 'knead' the dough too, but decided against it. Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
