They were very impressed with it, and I, too, was very happy with how  it turned out.

Listen. ANYONE can make this bread. Even if you have a bunch of kids hanging on your legs.

I ended up using unbleached white flour instead of whole wheat because I only had whole wheat pastry flour on hand, which doesn't work for yeast breads. So now we all know that white flour works in this recipe too. 

Get yourself these ingredients and make your family some bread. It will take you less time and effort than in takes to make a box of mac and cheese. And everyone will be very impressed with your culinary abilities. :)
