Honey White Loaves

I tend to make white sandwich breads for our "daily bread". My husband likes whole wheat, but the whole wheat bread I was used to tasted like dirt, strangely enough I didn't like that. My kids don't enjoy whole wheat either, in fact they prefer "rubber bread" like Wonder Bread instead of my homemade bread.

My daughter wanted egg bread for the next batch of bread, and as I have a bad cold I didn't want to think. Back to Tassajara...

Nut, Fruit and Coconut Granola
