1 cup oatmeal |
1 cup gluten flour |
3 cups whole wheat flour |

2 teaspoons salt |
4 cups boiling water |
1 cup warm water |
1/4 cup butter |

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Pour boiling water over cornmeal and oatmeal; let stand until cool.
2. Add honey, butter and salt to yeast mixture. Stir in bran, then whole wheat flour.
3. Add cooled cereal mixture, then add unbleached flour a cup at a time until mixture is stiff enough to knead.
