Hello Fellow Bread Bakers!
It is cold and snowy here in New England but I am in absolute heaven baking 
some yummy whole wheat breads.  I found the best Maple Oatmeal Bread 
recipe!  The bread has a great crumb, color and the aroma is pure 
heaven.  I have made several batches and taken them to school for my second 
graders and fellow teachers.  What makes this bread even more wonderful is 
that I discovered a local source for the real deal - yes!  Maple syrup 
tapped locally here in my neck of the woods.

The original recipe called for bread flour but I put in two cups of stone 
ground whole wheat flour and what a treat!

The recipe comes from Bernard Clayton's New Complete Book of Breads.  The 
recipe is on page 218 - my take on it was the 2 cups whole wheat flour 
instead of using all white bread flour.  On this cold January month I have 
been looking over some of my old bread books that I have been collecting 
since the 60's!  I guess I have always had a
love for bread baking!

Ciao!
