This is a recipe I found in an old second-hand recipe book. Everyone loves it, and no need to feel guilty eating a generous slice because it is so laden with nutritious goodies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cracked wheat shopping list
- 1/2 cup millet shopping list
- 4 cups boiling water shopping list
- 1/3 cup honey or molasses shopping list
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil shopping list
- 3 packages active dry yeast shopping list
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds shopping list
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats shopping list
- 1/2 cup cornmeal shopping list
- 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder shopping list
- 1/4 cup wheat germ shopping list
- 2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 7 - 7 1/2 cups whole wheat flour shopping list
- 1 egg white shopping list
- 1 tablespoon water shopping list
How to make it
- Combine cracked wheat, millet and 4 cups boiling water.
- Let simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Cool to lukewarm.
- Stir in yeast until dissolved
- Stir in walnuts, oats, cornmeal, milk powder, wheat germ and 2 teaspoons salt.
- Stir in flour to make a moderately stiff dough.
- Knead for 6 - 8 minutes.
- Place dough into greased bowl, cover, let rise for about 1 hour - until doubled in size.
- Punch down, knead several times.
- Divide in half. Shape into two loaves.
- Place into 2 greased loaf pans.
- Make slashes across top of each loaf.
- Cover & let rise until doubled in size again - approximately 20 - 30 minutes
- Optional: Combine egg white with water and brush tops of loaves before baking.
- Bake in 375 degree oven for 40 - 45 minutes
- Remove from pans & let cool
- Enjoy!!!
- **Additional notes: I mix this in my bread machine - just make 1/2 the recipe at a time. I use instant yeast - so only needs to rise once, and layer the ingredients as follows: yeast, sweetener, flour and other dry ingredients, water mixture and oil. It works beautifully, and ends up being half the work. I shape the dough into a loaf and bake in a conventional oven - I'm not sure how it would bake in the bread machine.

Mmmm This Bread with some melted Ementhaller & a glass of a full bodied red wine on coming in from playing out in the snow.
Is it better to refrigerate it or does it not even last long enough to worry about?
