So Far No Good- Homemade Sandwich Bread

I used this recipe for whole wheat bread to hopefully make sandwich bread that my kids would love. I have so far made two attempts and while the second was better than the first, they are still nowhere near what I am looking for.

For attempt number one I used all whole wheat white flour (I did not use the called for coconut oil in either recipe, I just substituted all olive oil). It was not what I would call sandwich bread.

The second attempt was better; I used one cup of bread flour and two cups of white whole wheat flour. And while it was better, it was also not what I would call sandwich bread. 

I am thinking maybe I will ditch this recipe and find another one to try. Stay tuned next week for more posts about my housewife self baking loaves of bread!
