    it’s the whole wheat flour. it’s less tasty, dry and in dough, it’s less elastic. i find i need to add cinnamon whenever im baking with whole wheat, but it’s healthy :)

    Pretty much everything has gluten in it, but you can buy gluten-free stuff all over the place!!

    Very nice! *pretends to be Borat* Cool…would you happen to know if the flour has gluten in it? I have to watch that stuff right now for dietary reasons. But I want to try it out so bad. I may have to wait a while before I’m able though.

    All breads normally convert over to sugar. The dietary info doesn’t give the sugar amounts, but the exchanges are: 1 starch, 1 other carbohydrate, 2 fat.
    Carbohydrate choices: 2.
    No clue what that means.

    I’ve made zucchini muffins and they were good. I used regular old all purpose rather than the wholewheat yeah cuz I’m a rebel like that. When I made them no one even knew there was any zucchine in it. Your bread looked yummy as usual. We need a Silverscreamgrl cookbook out in stores. :)

    I have often wondered what the purpose of salt in baking recipes was. I think back in the old days they just threw a pinch of salt into everything.

    Mmmmm, that just made me want to sit down with a slice and a cup of coffee! :) Nummy. Zucchini is also a good addition to banana bread.

    Thanks Daryl, well…..I’m sitting here having a chunk for breakfast. And it turned out dense & moist. Exactly the way I like it! :) Oh, and I realized that I forgot to put the salt in after I went to bed, it didn’t effect anything.

    Hey Beth, I made this and it was so yummy. I left out the sugar and salt and added walnuts. It was delicious. It can be eaten savoury or sweet depending on what you put on it!
