Shredded Wheat Bread

Submitted by Stephanie S.

"This recipe intrigued me. I couldn't imagine bread made with shredded wheat. As it turns out, its very good. I ususally make it a couple of times in a row to use up the shredded wheat biscuits and we gobble it up. Be sure to allow time to rise overnight."
