Susy's Tips and Tricks

Use honey if desired; instead of brown sugar.

My ancient seed mix includes buckwheat, flaxseed, millet, Chia, seeds, hemp, amaranth seeds. You could use chopped walnuts or pecans.

Feeling a bit healthier? Substitute 1/4-1/3 cup bread flour for white whole wheat flour. Same settings will work.

Measure your flour by weight or by stirring and dumping. Do not scoop. Do not shake measuring cup. Scrape excess with flat edge.

I served with an orange butter.
