Yay! Whole Grains! No, really, yay!

For my birthday, I got Whole Grain Baking by the King Arthur Flour company, which is exactly what I wanted. I've tried replacing regular flour with whole wheat flour and been rewarded with dense, gummy breads and a strange, slightly bitter taste, so getting tested whole wheat recipes is wonderful. I had leafed through the book at the library, and been intrigued by the novel idea that the bitter flavor of whole wheat flour can be negated by a little orange juice, without making the bread taste of orange juice at all. After that little idea turned out a batch of very tasty 50% whole wheat kolaches, I knew I had to have the book.

What I'd like to do is go through and try all of the recipes that don't contain butter (as in, none of the biscuit or pastry recipes) and don't sound repulsive. It would be fun to try to commit to one/week, but I’m way too busy to definitely commit.
