Vital Wheat Gluten

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the random lame question but I was wondering whether anyone knows off the top of your head whether the Porter Square Shaw's carries vital wheat gluten? The only place I've been able to find it is Whole Foods and I'd rather not drive all the way out there. But I need some today. Any ideas? TIA!

I don't remember Shaw's carrying a lot of speciality flour-related items. I want to say that Market Basket might. hmmm.

What are you baking? Now I'm curious. :)

I'm pretty sure I've already checked at Market Basket, but I could be misremembering. Or maybe they were just sold out that day.

I'm just baking your average garden-variety whole-wheat bread with wheat germ and flax seeds. We go through two loaves a week and if I don't make it today we'll have none for breakfast tomorrow, and the kids will probably stage a revolt. Or at least whine a lot. ;)

ah, you're good. I seldom bake multigrain whole wheat breads. I keep meaning to but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It's not really any harder than baking regular whole-wheat! I just keep the wheat germ and flax seeds with the gluten (in the fridge) and toss in a couple tbsp of each.

We love bread so much in my family, and I feel like, by adding the extra nutritious stuff, it relieves me of having to worry about "that's your fifth piece of toast today!" ;)
