This recipe produces a tall, pan-filling loaf of 100% whole wheat bread that's springy in texture.

Recipe adapted by Linda Shogren (Teech) from an Atari recipe posted by T.FOX5 (Joe Ekaitis).

* "Bread additive" will improve the texture of whole-grain breads and make them rise better. You can buy this from pricey cooking stores (i. E. Williams Sonoma or King Arthur), or make your own. It is very simple and Much less expensive. Mix equal parts of vital gluten (from health food store), ascorbic acid crystals (from drug store/pharmacy) and diastatic malt powder (from health food store). Stores indefinintely in a tightly closed container on the cupboard shelf. I usually make up about a pint at a time.

When making whole grain breads, use about 2 tb per loaf, adding it to the measuring cup before you fill it with one of the cups of flour, and then procede as usual.

You can even make your own malt by sprouting whole wheat berries until the sprouts are about 1/4" long, drying the sprouts, and then grinding them to a powder in a blender or grain mill.

Enjoy! Linda
