A wheat bread with interesting texture.

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup wheat germ
  • 1/2 cup whole bran cereal
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation:

Combine honey, molasses and yeast in the warm water. Cover and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in milk powder, beaten eggs, oil, and 2 teaspoons salt. Blend in the oats, wheat germ, and cereal. Beat in whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to make a somewhat stiff dough. Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead for about 8 minutes. Cover and let rise until double. Halve dough; let rest 10 minutes. Shape dough into 2 loaves. Place in 2 greased 8x4x2-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until nearly double. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes.

Marvelous BreadSeptember 23, 2008By stitchinfran
"This is some of the best homemade bread I have ever eaten. The texture is wonderful. It is perfect for our family and I highly reccomend it to others who are wanting a healthy bread with no seeds or nuts but tastes every bit as good as the best of them, if not better. I followed the recipe exactly and baked it the exact time specified. I would not change a thing Thanks for sharing such a great recipe."
