Multi-Grain and More Bread (Bread Machine)

Bev's Note:

This bread is called "Multi-Grain and More" because it is so packed with good-for-you stuff. All those grains give it a full, rich flavor and enough body to stick to your ribs. If you want the benefits of cereal and the timeliness of toast, this is the bread for you! From Electric Bread.

Great bread. I only had 5 grain cereal so added 1 T sunflower, 1 t. sesame and poppy seeds. I did it in the ABM and baked in the oven at 350 deg. for 30 min.

This turned out great with a nice light texture unlike other multigrains I've tried. I used a bit more whole wheat and a bit less white flour also I didn't have oat bran or cracked wheat so I subbed ground flax seeds and rolled oats. I formed it into two smaller loaves and baked in a 350F oven for about 25 minutes. Perfect! Thanks for posting, Bev.
