Multi-grain Bread
No preservatives or anything artificial, just 12 whole grains. Wonderful nutty flavor when toasted!!! Delicious lightly buttered and drizzled with honey. Try it the next time you make grilled cheese sandwiches.
NEEDED TO COMPLETE:
Water - 1 1/3 cup (110°-120°F)
Margarine/Butter - 3 1/3 Tbl. (softened)
Yeast - Measure 1 1/2 tsp from enclosed packet
BREAD MACHINE DIRECTIONS (1 1/2 lbs):
Add ingredients to bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer (see machine's instruction book). Set machine for Basic or Whole Wheat Cycle and Medium/Normal crust color. Press START. NOT recommended in cycles of less than three hours. Remove bread from pan; cool on wire rack. To create a softer crust, place a light linen towel over bread until it cools.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN DIRECTIONS:
Combine bread mix and yeast in a large bowl; stir well. Add very warm water {all liquid ingredients} (120*-130*) along with the softened butter. Stir to form soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Add 1-2 Tbl. flour, if sticky. Place in oiled bowl, cover and let rest/rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. First two steps can also be done with a mixer equipped with a dough hook. Punch down the dough and then form into a loaf to fit greased 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 30-40 minutes. Bake in 375* F oven for 25-35 minutes or until done (thump the loaf, it should sound hollow.) Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
Ingredients: bread flour, wheat flour, 12 grain mix (flax seed, sesame seed, buckwheat, oats, rye, millet, pearled barley, cornmeal, wheat bran, spelt flakes, sunflower seeds, rice flour) brown sugar, gluten, salt.
