This healthy, rustic bread fills you up. It’s delicious as is or with dried cranberries instead of raisins. —Jennifer Ferro, Drumheller, Alberta
Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
3 teaspoons sugar, divided
2-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
3 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup oat bran
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sunflower kernels
1/2 cup raisins
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the whole wheat flour, oats, oat bran, wheat germ, flaxseed, egg, oil, salt, 1 cup all-purpose flour and remaining sugar. Beat until smooth. Stir in the sunflower kernels, raisins and enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky).
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into two round loaves. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to wire rack to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
