I asked Rebecca Reid for the wheaten bread recipe in The Coop because I wanted to bake a loaf myself. She recommended sharing the recipe with readers and here it is. I baked it on Sunday and it came out delicious! It was a hit among friends and if you decide to bake a loaf, let me know how it turns out.
An important note: I used this conversion chart. You can add a little more flour without it affecting the outcome too much. I also baked the loaf at 375°F for an hour.
