Anyone have a good, tried-&-true recipe for 100% whole wheat bread or whole-grain bread? Mine come out ok but I'm a HUGE bread fan & none of them have ever been the can't- stop-eating-'til-it's-gone kind.

I realize it's a lot to ask, because it absitively, posolutely has to be healthy: no white flour, not too much sweetener (I usually use honey), and no shortening. A little butter would be ok, and vital wheat gluten is fine (i find it to be necessary if you don't use white flour), as are natural oils. I can generally get my hands on other whole-grain flours besides wheat as well. I've had zero luck cultivating a whole-wheat starter that doesn't taste truly awful, so yeast is expected.

Rustic, crusty types or sandwich loaves are equally desirable. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

No sunflower seeds or nuts, please, as I'm allergic.

Thank you!!


If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning. [Linked Image]
