Thanks Hon! I knew you could help. How's things in YH? If your ears were burning a bit yesterday, Dad was asking if I knew how you were doing and if you'd had much of the white stuff. Hope all is well and you guys are warm! )

Egret,

When we had a younger family we would make whole wheat bread all the time.

Used whole hard winter wheat. It is a heavier bread but everyone loved it.

If this is something that you are looking for let me know and I will do some digging for the recipe we used.

Hey Kent!
That would be great! Hubby loves fresh baked bread and was trying to find a little healthier one for him to scarf down..(Egret understands this one!) :P
