May I share a failure with you? You will learn some things TO DO and some things NOT TO DO. Please watch instead of just listening because there are several places where I give important written tips. So, I started out to make 2 loaves of whole wheat bread and ended up with one sickly loaf and one batch of cinnamon buns that tasted great but didn't rise as much as they should have. I am working hard at perfecting a soft, pliable whole wheat bread where my dear, sweet, patient husband's sandwiches will not crumble! Learn with me. Or, give me tips. Why whole wheat? Why homemade? Watch to see! Don't be discouraged if you are still eating white bread. If you aren't ready to move into freshly milled bread, you can take the step to move to store-bought 100% whole wheat bread. Make sure it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it. Then, try your hand at buying a package of whole wheat flour and make some homemade bread. Preservative free is a step in the right direction! If you want to go all in, put a grain mill on your Christmas list (include birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day and make it a year-long gift). If you've been purchasing expensive store bread in an effort to eat better, you will save $ over time to help offset the initial expenses.
