That bread sounds delicious.

Can't wait to try it. Have you, by any chance, tried it with other nuts?

Or just with almond?

Mara,

I've been threatening to try it with cashew, although I haven't yet

decided on a good place to order cashew flour from, and Whole Foods is

WAY too expensive to order nuts to grind myself!

For reasons I can't explain, I think of pecan and walnut as going with

" sweet " flavors -- like cinnamon, and so forth. While almond

goes with savory ones. (We'll just skip over how many sweet cakes I've

made with almond flour, not to mention how many savory dishes have

cinnamon or ginger in them.... <g>) I haven't YET tried it with

pecan or walnut. One note: when working with walnut, it ALWAYS takes more

flour than the recipe calls for.

Heh. That's what you get for not writing it down at the time.

But I didn't know it was going to come out that good

beforehand. <vbg>

Which is an even better reason to write it down -- so if it doesn't come

out, or if it does, you can figure out WHY.

Of course, I'm a great one to talk... I made something the other night

which turned out delicious, but which wasn't at ALL what I was trying to

make. Now I just have to figure out what I did to achieve the result I

got... and what to do the next time to achieve the result I

wanted!
