Yes, sounds gross, disgusting, unless you like whole grains. But, actually I've fed my WG pancakes to white pancake eaters who won't touch whole grains and they've loved it! Today I decided I didn't want to throw away my yummy baby starter so I incorporated it into my usually non-SD pancakes. (haven't made pancakes since before I was baking with SD)

Here it is:

This is a very flexible recipe. Have fun with it. Use handfuls, kitchen spoons, don't level, measure or fluff. Substitute, add or vary ingredients everytime you make it! This is a recipe to stretch your wings and for those that have to have a recipe, this is a recipe to get away from needing a recipe with.

1 cup rye starter, proofed (is that the right term?)

1 egg

1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (non-dairy household) or butter

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup soy milk or regular milk or buttermilk (I use soy)

3 cups total (I used 1 cup whole wheat white, 1 cup AP, 1/2 cup wheat bran and 1/2 cup oat bran)

2 tbsps flax lightly ground (1 or two buzzs in my coffee grinder was enough) prefer golden flax seed

2-4 tbsps honey to taste

Favored variations-1 banana, 1 cup blueberries

And, cook on the griddle.
Enjoy with real maple syrup or homemade jam! Or, make into belgian waffles.

I am looking for a high fiber wheat bread recipe I can make by hand. I have tried making high fiber bread in the bread machine, it comes out like a deflated brick. I like working by hand and was wondering if anyone has a recipe that would make not only a good tasting high fiber bread, but one that rises and isn't flat.
