Delicious, crunchy and moist bread for Granola lovers!

Yield: 2 loaves
Source: Revised from a recipe by Erika Pimper

2 cups unbleached All Purpose flour
4 1/2 tsp. Instant yeast
1 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. milk
2/3 c .honey
1/3 c. butter
2 eggs
2 c. W.W. flour
1 c. granola
1 c. rye flour
1/2 c. cornmeal
1/2 c. quick oats
Nuts and raisins, to taste

Whisk AP flour, yeast and salt until blended.

In a saucepan or microwavable measuring cup, heat milk, honey, and butter, until warm (120- 130). Add to dry ingredients, beat until smooth. Stir in W.W. flour, rye, cornmeal, oats, granola, nuts and raisins, if using, until well incorporated. If you need more flour, use A.P.

Knead until smooth, 7-9 min. Dough will be a bit sticky. Put in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled.

Gently degas, and cut in half. Let rest for 10 min.

Form into two boules, pan loaves, whatever suits your fancy. Put on a parchment lined cookie sheet, or a cornmeal dusted one, and let rise until doubled. Meanwhile preheat your oven to 375.

The dough rises fairly fast, about 30 min, so be ready! Slash your loaves and bake for 20 min. Cover lightly with foil, and bake an additional 10 min, or until your internal temp. is 190. Remove to a wire rack, and cool completely.
