Oat bran?

Don't know that I've ever seen that, Mr.GJ.

You think there might be a more common sub for it?

Lee,

Oat bran = old people food additive. I get it from a local health food store. They have a very nice bulk department. I toss it in lots of stuff I bake, as well as meat loaf or burger patties. Think of it as brillo pads for the arteries LOL!

Hey, if I eat oat bran, does that mean I can eat more bacon and pork rinds???

;-)

Okay, I'll look for it. The bread sound marvelous - thanks!
