Recipe News: OLD-FASHIONED CRACKED WHEAT BREAD

"If you like the health benefits of whole wheat bread but sometimes find it bitter, whole white wheat flour may be for you.

Hard white wheat contains less tannin than the hard red winter wheat used in most whole wheat bread, giving bread made with it a milder, sweeter flavor.

Norm Oeding and Kelly Dumford won a prize in the recent Kansas Wheat Commission recipe contest with the accompanying recipe using whole white wheat. It was adapted from a recipe by Annette Van Blaricum of Pratt.

Oeding grows and mills organic white flour at the Spring Creek Ranch in Kingman. He employs Dumford, who owns Delano Bakery in Wichita, to transform it into bread sold under the "Little Red Hen Bakery" name in local stores."
