Does anyone have any experience with soft red wheat? I'm aware it's more for things not leavened with yeast. But I've found a local farm that's got 50lb bags for $10. Can I use vital wheat gluten to make it more like hard wheat? I'm aware of the risks of getting wheat that isn't human certified and yada yada. I know what the possible risks are, and Im not particularly concerned

I posted the other day about hiding beans in bread for nutrition because my kids won't eat it if they know. Turns out it's possible, and really turned out great. No bean or weird flavors that would turn them off
