February 18: 12-Grain Bread

It is my sister Karen's birthday day. I will share a healthy recipe today in her honor.  Karen is a pretty healthy person. She wakes up early every day,exercises every day and eats healthy food. She is an example to me in so many ways. 

6 c hot tap water
2 c 9-grain cracked cereal (uncooked)
1/3 c millet
1 c raw sunflower seeds
2 c high gluten flour or 1/2 c vital gluten
2/3 c honey or molasses
2/3 c oil
2 TB salt
3 TB  instant
3 TB dough enhancer
whole wheat flour

Measure first five ingredients into Bosch bowl. Mix gently to fold ingredients together. Let sit five minutes. Add 9 cups wheat flour, honey, oil, salt, and mix to a paste. Add yeast. Add whole wheat flour 1 cup at a time until mixture cleans sides of the bowl. (Approximately 14 cups). Knead 7 minutes. Add dough enhancer. Knead until mixed through. Form into 6 large loaves.
