Steps:

• Select basic/white cycle, with medium or light crust color.
• Remove baked bread and cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Toss the rolled oats, spelt flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, canola oil, applesauce, maple syrup, dried apricots, pecans and ground flax seed together in a bowl, and mix well. Spread the granola mixture on the lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, stir the granola, then bake for another 15 minutes until dry. Cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

Steps:

• TIP: I never buy oat flour. I just dump some oats into my food processor, whiz for about a minute, and then I have oat flour! It's so much cheaper this way and is so easy-to-do.
• Preheat oven to 275°F In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, salt, cinnamon, and Brown Sugar Splenda. Stir to combine. Add the syrup and stir well until the syrup is evenly distributed. Add the melted butter and again stir until all of the oats are evenly coated.
• I like little, crunchy nuggets of granola when I eat it. To make the nuggets, grab a small handful of the granola mixture and firmly squeeze it in your fist to make glob. The mixture should hold together fairly well. Over a rimmed sheet pan, gently break the blob into smaller nuggets. Repeat with the remaining mixture. When finished, you should have a single layer of larger nuggets, smaller nuggets, and loose pieces of oatmeal. Don't move the granola once it is in the sheet pan or the nuggets will fall apart. Some people do not like larger nuggets of granola. If you prefer granola with loose pieces of oats, just dump the granola directly onto a sheet pan after you have mixed everything together. Just give the sheet pan a quick shake to evenly spread everything out.
• Bake the granola for 20 minutes. Take the sheet pan out of the oven and very, very gently stir the granola. You, after all, do not want to break apart the nuggets you made earlier. Put the sheet pan back in the oven for another 8 minutes or so for a lightly toasted granola. If you like your granola really toasted, you can leave it in for several more minutes. Remove it from the oven and leave it in the sheet pan until it has cooled completely. The granola will get crispier as it cools. Toss with your desired mixed dried fruits, nuts, and seeds. Store in a sealed container.
• After you make this the first time, make a note to yourself and decide if you would prefer the next batch to be sweeter or less sweet. I actually prefer my granola less sweet so I often add less Splenda than this recipe calls for. Others have preferred more sugar in theirs. You decide!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, granola, yeast and salt; blend well. In a medium saucepan, combine water, yogurt, honey and oil; heat to 120° to 130°. Add to flour mixture along with eggs; mix on low speed. Stir in whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead about 8-10 minutes, adding enough remaining all-purpose flour until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Shape into two loaves; place in a greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes. Remove from pans to cool on wore racks.

Steps:

• Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl and set aside.
• Put granola in a large bowl and add raisins, milk, and lemon juice and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
• Add sugar, banana, vanilla, brown sugar, honey, orange juice concentrate, egg whites, oil, and yogurt, and mix very well (I use a whisk).
• Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and combine just until mixed through.
• Pour mixture into greased loaf pan.
• Sprinkle tablespoon of sugar over the top of the mixture, and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until toothpicks comes clean.
• Allow loaf to cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.
• Allow to cool completely on wire rack before slicing.
• ENJOY!
• Tastes good with apple butter!
