Variations:
For a lighter loaf, substitute 1/4 cup gluten flour for 1/4 cup whole wheat flour. Or use 1 cup white flour in place of 1 cup whole wheat flour.

If making a pizza crust, apple icing crust or pot pie crust. Reduce yeast to 1 teaspoon. When making one of these crusts, try using all whole hwat pastry flour instead of regula whole wheat flour. The crust will be more tender.
