It seems some kids wont eat brown bread let alone wholemeal never mind
whole grain bread of the type I relish. And not all parents can
afford "real" bread.

Crafty bakers have come up with the solution that pleases the children
and their concerned parents. Yes it is white bread and it contains as
much fibre as wholemeal bread. How do they do it. Easy. They
include fibre extracted from maize. It wont be genetic engineering
since the New Zealand population as a whole have said "No" to
genetically engineered foods. Whatever.


I don't know how it compares to what you prefer, but there is now "white
whole wheat" -- different type (breed? strain?) of wheat that's still
"white" (or fairly so) even though it's "whole wheat bread" with "100% whole
wheat flour."

G'day G'day bj,

I haven't seen that here yet. The Wonder White style bread is
capturing a large portion of the Australian white bread market. It
could be that even if someone came up with a strain of wheat that
produced an essentially white bread it would have difficulty breaking
into the local markets. You might not be aware that the New Zealand
climate is unsuitable for growing hard wheat ie wheat with sufficient
protein to make good bread. We import it from Australia. One strain
of wheat that does have sufficient protein is grown in Canterbury and
is a blue wheat. Bread made from it has a purplish colour. I liked
it enough to include it in bread when I made bread. That is a while
ago.

(p.s. sorry I was too late to order your book. <sigh>
procrastination hits again!)

Sadly it will cost much more to get individual copies thanks to the
postal rates suggesting NZ and the USA are at opposite "poles"
We all have a lot to thank Wes for.

Sorry.

Best wishes,
