mixed grain, seed
and nut bread
Place warm water, molasses and yeast in the Cuisinart
™
mixing bowl. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until mixture is
foamy and bubbly.
While yeast is proofi ng, combine 2 cups of whole-wheat
fl our with 1 cup bread fl our, oats, vital wheat gluten, and
salt. Add the fl our mixture to the yeast mixture. Insert
the dough hook and mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes.
Combine remaining fl ours and reserve.
Add the oil, fl ax seeds, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds,
sesame seeds, sunfl ower seeds, and optional nuts. Mix
for an additional 2 mintues on speed 3. Continuing on
speed 3, add the remaining fl our 1 tablespoon at a time
until a dough ball forms that clings to the dough hook
and cleans the sides of the bowl. Set the timer for 4
minutes to allow the dough to knead. Transfer to a clean
bowl, cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until
volume is doubled, about 1 to 1½ hours.
Lightly coat two 8x4x3-inch loaf pans with unsalted
butter or cooking spray. Divide dough into 2 equal
pieces and shape into loaves. Place in prepared pans,
cover and let rise until dough comes up over the top of
the pan by about ¾ inch. While dough is rising, preheat
oven to 375°F.
Bake loaves for 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned
and hollow sounding when tapped. Remove from pans
and let cool on a wire rack. Bread slices best when
allowed to cool completely before slicing.
