Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup 10-grain cereal mix (uncooked)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Rolled oats or additional grains (for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, pour the boiling water over the 10-grain cereal mix. Stir to combine, then let it sit for 20 minutes until the mixture cools to lukewarm temperature.
Dissolve the honey in the warm water, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and salt to the cooled cereal mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Gradually add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, and mix until a sticky dough begins to form.
Stir in the bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough becomes manageable and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until it has risen just above the edges of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the top of the dough with water and sprinkle with rolled oats or additional grains for decoration.
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
