Name: Whole Wheat Bread with Crystallized Ginger
Yield: Makes 1 loaf
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups warm buttermilk (105°F to 115°F); 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled; 3 tablespoons sugar; 1 envelope dry yeast; 3/4 cup whole wheat flour; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 3 cups (or more) unbleached all purpose flour; 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger; 3 tablespoons bulgur*

"One Saturday morning I came up with this bread recipe, and now my family asks for it all the time," writes Priscilla Unger of Alberta, Canada. "My husband insists on having his first slice while the loaf is still warm from the oven, but I prefer mine toasted and topped with marmalade."

The slightly sweet bread is great with butter and preserves.
