prep time:: 25 min
total time:: 1 hr

Approx 6 loaves

I got this recipe from a Bosch cooking class. I really love it! This recipe is also fantastic for pizza crust, dinner rolls, and sandwich buns.

ingredients

6 cups warm water
2 cups Nine grain cracked cereal mix OR
3 1/2 cups 12 grain blend (Bosch store)
1/4 cup Millet
1 cup Raw Sunflower Seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
2/3 cup Honey
2/3 cup Canola Oil
2 TBS real salt
3 TBS Saf Instant yeast
3 TBS Dough Enhancer
2 Tbs Lecithin (optional)
12-14 cups freshly milled whole wheat flour
You will not need the millet, sunflower seeds or sesame seeds if you buy the 12 grain blend from Bosch ($3)

directions

Combine water, Cereal Mix, Millet, Sunflower Seeds and Sesame Seeds in a Bosch mixing bowl. Cover with lid and let rest for 5-10 minutes to soften grains. Add oil, honey, Real Salt, Dough Enhancer, Gluten, about 6 cups flour, and SAF yeast to grain mixture. Mix at speed one until a smooth batter is formed. Add remaining flour one cup at a time until dough cleans the sides of the bowl. (You will want to turn your mixer to speed two as the mixture gets heavier but do not go over speed two.) Continue to knead until dough is smooth and elastic, the total mixing time is generally 10-12 minutes. Divide dough into loaves and allow to raise until doubled in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
