Multi-Grain Whole Wheat Bread

I have had a lot of people ask me for this recipe, so I put it on my personal blog recently, which made it easy to add to this one.  I make bread about every two weeks, usually 3-4 batches minnumum. We go through a lot, but it's also one of my favorite ways to to let someone know I am thinking of them, or a good excuse to drop by and say hi to someone--kind of a Relief Society staple. 

Multi-Grain Whole Wheat Bread:

6 C. Hot Water

1 C. 9 Grain Ground Mix

1 C. 6 Grain Rolled Mix

1 C. Wheat Bran (I happen to have a 50 lb bag, when it runs out, it won't be on the recipe anymore)

1/4 C. Sunflower Seeds

1/4 C. Flax Seeds

1 Tbsp. Poppy Seeds

1/2 C. Sugar (You can use honey)

1/3 C. Oil   (You can replace with 1/2 C. Applesauce)

2 Tbsp. Salt

3/4 C. Gluten

Up to 12 C. Wheat Flour

2 Tbsp. Instant Yeast

Add everything, but the flour, then add about two cups of flour and the yeast and start to mix, add remainig flour until the dough reaches the right consistency and isn't sticking to the sides of the bowl.  I let in knead in my bosch for about 10 minutes, then divide into four pans and raise for 30 minutes before putting in the oven at 350 for 27 minutes.

The basis for the recipe began with my mom, Tammy!
