Just wanted to add that its ok to skip an ingredient, you dont even have to mix up the enhancer. I often just add powdered milk and ginger. The ginger is like super food for the yeast and the milk helps with the texture of the bread. Also I have heard, havent tried but heard that you can substitute Fruit Fresh for the Vitamin C. Each thing has its own purpose, the vitamin c is a preservative. So many have asked about leaving out an ingredient due to various reasons.

I am anxious to try it and have all the ingredients except the ascorbic acid. Do you think it will be a waste of time to try the recipe without it? Thanks! Thank you so much for posting this!

I've never tried no sugar pectin, but that's probably fine. Sheila, I use regular pectin out of the box or bulk pectin from the Amish store, which is also just regular pectin.

I've been adding just vital wheat gluten to 100% whole grain for years with success. But I bet this is even better. I have one problem with this recipe, though. Gelatin is made from the ground up hooves of animals that have been factory farmed and slaughtered -- that means they've lived and died by horrific means. Definitely not an industry I want to support by buying this gelatin products. Mary Jane's Chillover Powder is a cruelty free alternative that works better than regular gelatin in all recipes. I would like to suggest that you promote this as an alternative to the gelatin in your recipe. I think you will find that Mary Jane is a kindred of yours as well. Check out her blog at http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/farmgirl-connection/ and her magazine Mary Janes Farm. You can buy the gelatin alternative powder on her site at: http://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/store/p/65-ChillOver-Powder.aspx or I've also found it azurestandard.com. Also, both Azure Standard and Mary Janes Farm are great resources for you and your readers. Thanks again, and cheers. Ellie Martin Thanks for this great recipe.
