Occasionally, I make myself a loaf of bread, though usually I am just lazy
and buy a loaf. The recipe I was use is a pretty standard one, and my
favorite combination is to use 2 c. of white flour and 1 of whole wheat.
Sometimes I split the dough into the little tart tins and make hamburger
buns instead of baking the stuff up into a loaf pan.

The other day, there was a thread about adding some oatmeal to the bread,
but it did not say (or I missed where it did say) whether a 1/2 cup or so or
oats is simply added, or are the oats added, with a corresponding amount of
flour is subrtracted.

I have the same question about grape nuts. Would I simply add 1/2 cup to
the recipe. I looked up "grape nuts bread" on google, and most of the
recipes I found were for quick breads and not yeast breads, but a few were,
and I appeared that they were just standard recipes with grape nuts added.

The main effect I would want to get out of adding grape nuts is for them to
retain their crunchyness. If they will not, what will. Sunflower kernels
or some other type of nut? Some other kind of cereal, perhaps "crunchy"
granola or a "flake" cereal like Special K?
