YEAST BREAD: 7 Grain Bread

1/2 cup 7 grain (Arrowhead Mills)
3/4 cup boiling water

Pour the boiling water over the 7 grain and let sit until lukewarm.

2 tsp. yeast
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup AP white flour
3 tbsp. dried non-fat milk
1 to 2 tbsp. vital wheat gluten
1/2 tsp. diastatic malt powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. canola oil (or 1 tbsp. granular lecithin and 1 tbsp. oil)
2 tbsp. honey
2/3 cups warm water

Put all the ingredients into the bread machine (set to dough cycle) and let the machine do it's thing.
When all the kneading and rising is done, I take it out of the machine and shape it into a loaf and put it in a bread pan (either 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 OR 9 x 5). Let the bread rise in the pan for about 30-40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375. Bake the bread for 20 minutes uncovered and then cover with aluminum foil for another 20 minutes.
