1. On my way to check it out!

Thanks for the heads-up!

If I had spelt flour in the house I'd be stirring up a batch after watching the vids. Yum.

2. Well, I'm going to stick with trying to get plain old white bread right

--before messing with all that stuff that has less gluten in it. I still have to finish my last whole wheat brick, though. It tastes good, but gawd what a lousy texture!

3. Did you try this one yet?

It only looks like lots more work but it really isn't. It's extremely easy and the texture is worth the few extra steps. :hi:

4. I haven't tried any of these yet, the A5 book is on request at my library

I'm now 11th on the list so it should be soon for that one.

I'd like to try the spelt since I look for that at the grocery. But the photo of dipping the bread in the soft boiled egg looks so good. I'm a fan of soft boiled or poached eggs when I use whole eggs. How tempting.

5. I have to confess that's what drew me, too.

But I really needed to find a recipe that has all the whole wheat Bill wants and the texture I could endure. This filled the bill (no pun intended! :rofl: ) and then some.

6. I think I need to get my basic skills up to par first

If I screw up the white bread too, that would be a bad sign.

7. You can do that if

it makes you feel more comfortable but I really think it isn't necessary if you really want wheat bread. I love a good crusty white once in a while myself, but Bill pretty much insists on wheat. He usually prefers it kinda dense but we were able to meet in the middle on this since it was so good.

I hope you'll file it away for when you do feel like doing it because it's the softest one I've found yet. :hi:
