Nine Grain Bread
Grain Recipe

This recipe starts with boiling water, and you must let the first mixture cool to lukewarm before continuing. Remember, temperature errors are the most common problem in bread machine baking.

Start by pouring 1 cup boiling water into a safe container. Pour into that 1/4 cup nine-grain cereal. Mix gently. Let this mixture sit until lukewarm.

Directions:
Add the following ingredients to your bread pan:

1 scant tablespoon instant yeast
3 cups high gluten flour
The "nine-grain mixture" from the step above
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar)
1-1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds (optional)

Press start, wait for bread; slice, toast, consume.

Yields: 2 Servings
