I can't tell you how many times I've made this great recipe - as well as sharing it with people who are just getting started using whole wheat flour. I mill my own flour and use white wheat varieties, which are lighter in color and less acidic in flavor than red wheat. Even "whole wheat haters" are surprised to find out these are 100% Whole Wheat...
