Just a simple quick bread recipe, Theresa. I could never get the 
chemistry right for whole grain yeast bread and finally quit trying. It 
doesn't matter whether you add the raisins and walnuts or not. I 
substitute 1 cup of fruit puree for 1 cup of buttermilk and, if the 
fruit is really sweet [like mango], I omit the honey.

Whole Wheat Quick Bread

	2	cup	Whole-grain whole wheat flour
	1	tsp 	Baking powder
	1	 tsp	Baking soda
	1	 tsp	Salt
	1	 lrg	     Egg
	2	 cup	Buttermilk
	1-1/2	tbs	Butter; melted
	1/2	cup	Walnuts; chopped
	3	tbs	     Light molasses or honey
	1/2	cup	Dark seedless raisins

Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, 
baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat egg in a large bowl. Stir in 
buttermilk, molasses (or honey) and butter. Stir in flour mixture. Mix 
in walnuts and raisins. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake 45-55 
minutes, or until bread is well browned. Remove from oven and place on 
a wire rack to cool. Makes 1 loaf.
