Heather (or anybody else) - What can I replace wheat germ in baking recipes with??
And, did you say I didn't have to replace dried milk with anything? Should I just add the same amt of flour?
Thanks.

Well, it depends on how much wheat germ you need. It's usually a pretty minor ingredient - if that's the case, I'd just add it, assuming the rest of the recipe has a good soluble fiber base. You could also just omit it altogether. I don't know what would be a safe substitute.
You can use powdered soy milk instead of dry milk. If you can't get that, I don't know what else would work. You could omit it, but for baking you might get a slightly different result because the protein from the milk is going to affect the bread chemistry.
Sorry I don't have great answers here...
