Roy,

Thanks for the response. I am following Laurel's Bread Book because it
is supposed to "the guide" regarding using whole wheat flour. However
most of the loaves in this book seem to be "sandwich" style which is
not what I want.

So I'm feeling kind of lost. I don't know how to look at recipe and
know if I will get the holey kind of texture I am looking for rather
than the dense sandwich kind of loaf.

I thought maybe find a book that concentrated on a "genre" might help
me out.

I agree I need to keep baking. In fact I'm obsessed - there are only
two of us in the house and I've made 5 loaves in the past 2 weeks. But
I don't have a clue how to get the bread I'm looking for.

Thanks.
Vicki
