So...to follow up on my request:

I think I've found my magic bread recipe (or at least one that makes me very happy as a daily loaf). I'm using the recipe from the original book (I think it's called light wheat - it's 5.5 cups white to 1 cup wheat). To that I add 1/2 cup of wheatberries that have been soaked overnight in cool water or quick soaked in nearly boiling water (until it cools). Love the flavor and texture - it's whole wheat without being too dense or chewy.

I still want to try olives in the plain dough - but it's always much stickier and I haven't quite figured out how to add them. All in good time
