Hi Dave,

 DD> Why do you *ASSUME* that low carb bread is made from "cardboard &

Just a random thought. Been listening the last few days about Hostess
going belly up and hearing what they use for some of their so called
"treats"--makes me glad I don't eat them.

Have used these two, in fact, a soy banana bread I made and took to the

pronounced "awesome" by the department head.

I could get some nuts & seeds and run then thru our mill if I want to
experiment. It's cheaper than buying the flours someone else has ground

I'm used to subbing in; I've been baking our bread on a regular basis
for most of the time we've been married. Steve just pulled a couple of
loaves out of the oven a few minutes ago.

 DD>       Title: Wholegrain Bread
 DD>  Categories: Breads, Grains
 DD>       Yield: 2 loaves

I just used 2 eggs, 1/4 c each oil, non instant dry milk & honey, @2
tbsp yeast, one of sea salt & guar gum, 2 cups water and about 7.25 cups
of whole wheat flour.  Probably 15-20 carbs per slice. I use whole wheat
pastry flour for other things, not bread making.


BTW, I noticed this packet has a lot of really old messages that I never
got so some of my replies will be to them. Somewhere along the line Fido
had a big belch. (G)
