No photos, I’m afraid! 100% Whole Wheat Bread This is the most moist and delicious whole wheat bread I’ve ever tasted. It makes enough for two...

I made soft pretzels and pita bread today. The pretzels don’t quite taste like pretzels I’ve had in the past, but they were still delicious. The pita bread turned out really well for a first try.

Original Recipe: http://www.joyofbaking.com/ButterTarts.html Adele loves pecan butter tarts, so I finally set out to find a recipe.
