I modified this recipe a whole bunch and it still came out with a great taste and texture! First, I substituted the margarine with 2tbsp of olive oil and 1c of white flour with 1c of whole wheat bread flour (King Arthur).
I also added 1tbsp of nonfat dry milk, 1tbsp of dried dill, and abt 1/4c of shredded parmesan bc I had some in the fridge. I reduced the yeast to 2tsp as suggested by others, but I did keep the 1/4 tsp of baking soda.
Baked it on my machine's Express setting (which is 1hr total). For a small loaf this setting normally asks for 4c of flour and 3 tsp of bread machine yeast, so since this recipe was only 3c of flour I used 2tsp and it rose just the right amount (check out my photo). The bread is surprisingly fluffy and moist for an Express bread with whole wheat. Very flexible recipe! Will make it again for sure.
