| Sliced reduced calorie whole wheat bread |
Well, now I'm hooked! I got a wild idea and decided I wanted to grind my own wheat, and bake some reduced calorie bread that I could use on Simply Filling. I almost think that was a mistake because now I do NOT want commercially baked bread again!
It was so easy. I bought the grain on
Amazon, from Palouse Brand. I love this company! I purchased a sample pack of soft white wheat berries, hard white wheat berries, and red wheat berries. Tossed them into the dry blending container of the Vitamix, and voila! Whole wheat flour!

| Poof! Flour! |
I used my bread maker to take it through the dough step, then turned it out, kneaded it a few times, put it in a silicone loaf pan, and baked it in the oven. Delicious!

| Taa-daaaa! |
I had so much fun I baked more mini-loaves for my Cypress WW girls!

Then I made some whole wheat pasta. What an ordeal. A LOT of work, and it tasted awful. I threw it away. Anyone want to buy a Farberware Pasta Machine? All the parts are there, including the original instruction book (which you won't find on the ones selling on eBay for $80+), and an additional pasta recipe book. All this for $20!
So glad I found you! I have been arguing with my "experts" on the ww site about grinding wheat. Thank you! I knew I was right :)
