hello my fellow bakers!

I have been scoping out this site for awhile now, but decided to join up finally because I'll be soon joining the ranks of home millers.  While I love baking all sorts of things, I really want to get a bangin' recipe down pat for my 'everyday' bread: whole wheat, super healthy, that I can produce over and over, that my 2 kids and husband will actually eat with no coercion or threats of violence (I kid).  I look forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge from everyone here!

Using buttermilk

I was not the greatest fan of whole wheat bread until I started making our 'everyday' honey whole wheat bread using buttermilk in place of the milk called for in the recipe.  I found this greatly changed the flavour and texture of the bread. For some reason it seems I get a better rise when using buttermilk, too.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm about to search the forums for info on producing a soft light fluffy wheat bread.  My hubby want's bread that tastes and feels like pepperidge farms 100% whole wheat bread.  I'm trying to explain that it's almost impossible to recreate what they've done, but on the chance that I'm wrong I need to do the research.
