Notes
For a nuttier flavor and added fiber, substitute Hard Red Spring Wheat Flour (http://earlybirdnc.com/product/hard-red-spring-wheat-flour/). Note: This will make the bread denser, so you may also consider using a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour. Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor, and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
