Blender Bread
From Athens Locally Grown
<p>This recipe enables people without grain mills to grind wheat and make their own bread at home by using a blender to wet-mill the grain. It does require some store-bought flour but you can’t tell the difference in the taste. Enjoy!</p>Source: Mom's kitchen (Entered by Phillip Henry)
