Amazing Bread!!!

Yesterday was Sunday (brilliant comment I know), and that meant time for me to make bread for lunches this week.  Originally I planned on making rye bread because I thought I still had some ground rye flour in the freezer, but alas apparently I used it!!

So what should have been rye bread turned into a mixed multi-grain bread, and it is SUPER delicious.  

Here's how it turned out:

I of course used my new (ish) mixer and it worked fantastic.

Here's the recipe:

1 3/4 cuts hot water

2 tbsps canola oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup molasses

- turn mixer with dough hook on to medium speed, and when sides of bowl are no longer hot add:

1 cup whole grain flour

1 tbsp yeast

-let mix for a minute of two and then begin adding flour.

You will need somewhere between 5 -6 cups flour before dough no longer sticks to sides and is only on the dough hook.

Continue to mix with dough hook for another 8 minutes.

Let rest until doubled in size, punch down and then form 2 loaves from the dough.

Let rise again, and then bake at 350F for about 20 - 25 minutes.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
