I used the whole wheat starter and experimented with your whole wheat bread recipe in the DAK today. It turned out great. Basically, I just halved your recipe and added a few things. My DAK is a 3 cup flour model, is yours? If Im using whole wheat or rye flour, I can add more flour because it doesnt rise as much. Also, whenever I use whole wheat, etc. I add vital wheat gluten and lecithin to aid elasticity and to help it rise. This is what I put in the DAK and the order I used: Turn the light/dark setting to 12 oclock and set the menu to Sweet Bread (the auto. one, not the manual one) Later, at the beeps, I added 3/4 c. pecans (didnt have walnuts on hand). I usually add large pieces since they are kind of cut up by the B/M while kneading. Posted to EAT-L Digest 12 Jan 97, by Betsy Burtis <ebburtis@IX.NETCOM.COM> on Mon, 13 Jan 1997.
