Ring-shaped foods are symbolic of
good luck at New Year's (the rings
symbolize the year's coming full
circle, and eternity), and so this
year, in addition to making the
black-eyed peas I make every year,
I baked I pulled out my Bundt pan
for cakes and, being me, decided to
see what I could come up with using
all or mostly whole wheat flour
Recently, I've been working with
Peter Reinhart's impressive new
cookbook, "Bread Revolution," which
is focused mainly on sprouted wheat
flours, with lots of good
information about using whole grain
flour in baking
