I like the floavour of the bread....It is not at all like store whole wheat though...even baked in store. It has much more of it's own flavour. It freezes well and slices well. I added one egg for moistness (replacing 1/4 cup of milk) and found that the 12 cups of flour was not enough. I added a couple more cups...I guess you could also try replacing 1/2 cup of the milk with the 1/2 cup molasses already in the recipe because the dough was so loose.

It's a big city now, with all the big city advantages and disadvantages. I miss the small town feel but love the restaurant choices and the people friendly improvements.
My writing is mainly non fiction on historical bits, and I have brief and so far unsuccessful forays into historical fiction. Someday.....
I don't think I'm a great cook but I'm the kind of cook who can walk into the kitchen and find good things in the fridge and pantry and make it into a meal that everyone thinks is pretty darn good. Sometimes I use a recipe and sometimes...not so much.
I have a great collection of cookbooks, and I love reading them and studying the pictures. Sometimes I even cook the recipes, LOL! And that is why I love Zaar, an unending source of recipes and pictures. It's heaven!
