Well, we got brave, took turns grinding by hand (used the grains/beans from Bread Beckers), and used their recipe. The bread is tasty and got good reviews from outsiders too.
I'm not sure we'd live on this nor would others have reviewed it so favorably if they had to either, but as a change from the norm, it was successful. If you like hearty, whole grain loaves I'd urge you to try it. You need a grain mill to do it and have to buy the pre-packed mixture of grains/beans or have access to buying a bunch of them. I'll have to play with the milk thing later. aardvark > I'm a newbie to bread-baking.
