Finally I have found an easy whole wheat bread recipe (food storage people!) that actually rises and is soft and airy without the use of wheat gluten. It was stashed in my recipe box and I'd just never tried it before. It tastes great and Saki loves it, he's a bread lover. Especially hot chocolate and bread smothered in jam, butter, and peanut butter...
This makes 4 medium sized loafs so I suggest halving the recipe you don't eat a lot of bread!
5 C water
2 T yeast
1/3 C honey
1/3 C oil
1/3 C potato flakes
2 eggs
1 T salt (I make it without salt, but think it tastes a little funny that way)
6 cups whole wheat flour
Mix all of the above at let rest for about 10 minutes. Then add 4-5 C more whole wheat flour making a soft dough.
Knead and let rise until double.
Punch down and make into rolls or loafs and let rise again until double (pretty much until you can poke it lightly with your finger and the indent doesn't bounce all the way back quickly).
Bake at 350ยบ-don't overbake if you want soft bread. Enjoy!
Just some thoughts:

-greased lightening is a grease cleaner that actually cleans!
-sometimes buying in bulk isn't cheaper-compare the price per unit or oz
-72 hour kit tips--use the overnight kit you may get from plane delays (toothpaste etc)
-for baby's use old stained clothes or hand me downs that aren't quite your style & use all
those formula samples you get from your dr's office and the hospital
-cats like tuna and it's cheaper than canned cat food and healthier than lots too-have you ever read the ingredients on lots of pet food? (if your cat lives mostly off of a balanced for cat dry food diet)

Oh, sounds yummy! I have a recipe that is WAY easy and doesn't require eggs if you are interested.
