Whole Grain, Multi Grain Honey Wheat Bread

This is the bread that my wife makes at least once a week.  It makes a fantastic regular loaf for sandwiches but she also forms it into delicious rolls and hoagies.  It started as a simple whole wheat flour bread found on the bag of King Aurthur flour.  She adapted it to our needs and desires over time and below is the recipe she uses as of now.  This recipe is great if you have a bread machine.  My wife uses the dough cycle on our bread machine and then finishes it and bakes it in the oven.  This is the best bread!

Multi-Grain Honey Wheat Bread

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
• 1/4 cup oil (canola)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup 10 grain flour (pre-packaged bread mix)
• 3 tablespoons milled flax seed
• 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 teaspoons of yeast.

Place all ingredients in bread machine and set to dough cycle (for instructions on how to form the dough without a bread machine, see the website for King Arthur Flour above).  When the cycle completes, remove to an oiled surface and punch down.  Form into whatever kind of loaf/shape you desire.  Let rise for 30-40 minutes.  Bake large loafs at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes (reduce time for smaller loaves or rolls).  Cover loosely (tent) with foil halfway through baking.

Enjoy!
