A tasty multi-grain bread that the kids even like. Pre-cooking the 7-grain cereal prevents that raw grain flavor often found in whole grain products.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups multi-grain hot cereal (seven grain hot cereal)
  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • 1 cup 2% low-fat milk (cold)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup flax seed meal
  • 2 tablespoons flax seeds
  • 1/3 cup salted sunflower seeds (prefer dry roasted)
  • 1/2 cup english walnuts (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a small heavy sauce pan bring 1 1/2 cups water, honey, molasses and butter to a boil.
  • Slowly stir in the 1 1/4 cups of multi grain cereal. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl combine cooked cereal and the 1 cup of cold milk. Allow to cool to approximately 85 degrees.
  • Add the yeast and stir to dissolve. Continue stirring to combine ingredients or use a large mixer to mix well.
  • Mix the flours and salt in a separate bowl. Attach dough hook to mixer and start on low speed.
  • Add flour to cereal mixture one cup at a time.
  • Add flax and sunflower seeds and nuts.
  • Continue mixing until dough cleans the sides of the bowl (you may need to add more flour).
  • Remove from mixer and place on floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes.
  • Clean the mixer bowl, add two tablespoons of vegetable oil to clean bowl and spread around in bowl to cover sides.
  • Place dough in bowl and flip it over so the oily side is on top.
  • Turn on your oven light (this provides the warmth to proof your dough). Place bowl in the oven and close door. Let rise until dough is double in size - about one hour.
  • Remove from oven, place on floured surface, separate into 2 pieces, knead each piece for 5 minutes, form each into a cylinder to fit the loaf pans. Oil loaf pans, place dough in loaf pans and return to oven.
  • Remember to leave the light on, let dough rise for 1 hour or until dough mounds above the pan, then bake for 35-40 minutes at 375 degrees.
