Multi-Grain Honey Wheat Bread

Sue Lau's Note:

A "partial" bread machine recipe. Start in the machine, and finish in your oven. Can also use a traditional mixer with a dough hook, if you wish.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 1 hrs 50 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 loaf

• 1 ½ teaspoons yeast
• ¼ cup nonfat dry milk powder

• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup all-bran cereal , crumbled

• wheat germ (for top, optional)

Directions:

1. Place ingredients into bread machine in appropriate order.
2. Set machine to"manual" to knead dough.
3. After manual bread machine cycle, remove machine hook from dough, and turn dough into a greased loaf pan and punch down.
4. Let rise until doubled in size (about an hour).
5. Keeping dough in same pan in which it rose, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with extra flax seed, oats, and/or wheat germ (optional), and allow dough to re-rise about ten minutes.
6. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until nicely browned.
7. Remove pan from oven, and turn bread out of pan to cool on a wire rack.
8. Serve with an herb butter, if you desire (I have 3 different herb butter recipes available:#27286,#27297, and#27739).

Good tasty healthy bread! I needed to add a considerable amount of extra flour but that may be because of my subsitutions I made, specifically instead of the cereal I used Fiber 1 cereal. The other changes I made was using Kosher salt (instead of sea salt) and walnut oil (instead of grapeseed oil). I used oatmeal with the egg wash as a topping. Thanks for sharing!
