Red Fife wheat is a heritage grain, often used in breads, that is regaining popularity across the country. Here, it is combined with walnuts and local honey in a sweet quick bread that goes well with aged cheeses. Look for Red Fife flour in specialty or organic food stores. If you can't find it, just substitute an equal amount of stone-ground whole wheat or all-purpose flour – either works well.
