Honey Crunch Multi Grain Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pour boiling water over cereal and mix, then cool to 100 degrees ( so as not to kill the yeast later)
• 2. Add the honey, melted butter, yeast and flours. Mix just until combined in a mixer. Cover and leave for 20 minutes
• 3. Add salt and knead on medium for 3-4 minutes. Check for consistency and knead 5 more minutes.
• 4. Add the pumpkin seeds and mix until blended. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and place in a warm place until dough is doubled.
• 5. Divide dough in half and shape into two loaves. Spray with some oil and roll in the oatmeal. Place in greased loaf pans and let rise until doubled
• 6. Bake in a 375 oven for 35-40 minutes or until internal temperature of 200. Cool for few minutes on a rack and then turn out on the rack to cool.

Steps:

• Place dough ingredients, in order listed, into the bread machine pan, ending with the yeast in one corner, and the salt in another corner.
• Select dough cycle on bread maker ~ remove dough from machine after the first rise.
• Spray a plastic mat with cooking spray, then plop the dough onto the mat, folding the dough and punching it down ~ then shape the dough into a loaf.
• Spray a Pyrex loaf pan with cooking spray; add the loaf and slash the dough a few times if desired.
• FOR TOPPING: Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon honey crunch wheat germ on top of shaped and slashed loaf, if desired.
• LET DOUGH RISE UNTIL DOUBLED. (Depending upon the temperature of your kitchen, this could take 1 1/2 hours, or more!).
