To Anony Mouse I've used half white whole wheat flour in the ABin5 challah recipe to great success! A trick I learned from the King Arthurs whole grain cookbook was to put in a bit of OJ with whole wheat to counter some of that wheaty-ness, and I've done that in the challah recipe...just subbing out about (no more than) 1/4 cup of the water for OJ. I typically thrown in a couple teaspoons or so of vital wheat gluten as well when I make the substitution. Anyone remember the round apple challah bread-cake from last september? I've used the ABin5 challah leftovers to make that whenever I have apples in the house. Everyone I've met loves that recipe. I have bring one home nearly every time I see the grandparents!
