a poster in another venue pointed to this recipe for bread that uses
shredded wheat along with flour:

it's unlikely i will try to make it - since i'm not a baker - but i'd never
heard of such a thing. i thought i would put it out there to see what you
think. the site says 'it's a staple of every New England community
cookbook.'

Admittedly I have not lived in Maine since I was 17, but I too have never
heard of it. Don't know why you wouldn't make it, considering how pricey
any decent bread is in the DC suburbs.
Us foreigners could make it with Wheetabix!

a combination of timidity and laziness. the closest i've come is jiffy mix
cornbread.

It most certainly is not a staple of every New England community.
I have spent most of my life in New England and have never seen
any such thing. It does look vaguely related to cornbread.
Vaguely. And that also is not a staple in every New England
community. It used to be more common in days of yore though.

Reminds me of a recent "experiment" in which I used matzoh meal in
lieu of about half of the flour of a regular bread recipe...it did not
rise very much, I'm wondering if it's because the gluten in the matzoh
meal was already "used" or some such...I'm just speculating here...

Thanks for the post, blake, it's interesting...
