Hi,

That is what I did.  The peanuts ground down pretty small, so you could
not really tell you were crunching on them in the bread, but they were
not powder (flour).  After reading the website Scott Schultz wrote about,
I think I added almost nut meal (peanut) to cracked wheat bread.

What is the name, make or model of your machine?  Someone I know might
have one. 

But it probably still would not be nut flour.  "Nut flours are ground

I checked two grocery stores nearby and they do not sell almond flour 
or any other kind of nut flour.  

http://www.foodsubs.com/Nutmeals.html says "Nut flour lacks the gluten 
that baked goods need to rise, so in those recipes substitute no more 
than 1/4 of the wheat flour with nut flour."   There is a an 800 number
for ordering flour...I did not realize there were so many different
nut flours....so the question comes back to

Rednuts

Bye.
