The following recipe is a mixed grain bread that has an interesting texture and a wonderful taste. It is one of the breads I eat without anything on it.
Ingredients For Mixed Grain Bread
- ⅓ cup non-fat dry milk
- 1½ cups regular oatmeal (uncooked)
- ⅓ cup Wheatena (uncooked)
- 2 tsp. salt
- 2½ cups boiling water
- 2 Tbsp. melted margarine or butter,
- ½ cup molasses
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 pkg (¼ oz. each) dry granulated yeast
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2½ cups whole wheat flour
Preparations For Mixed Grain Bread:
- Combine oats, Wheatena, and salt in a bowl, then mix in the boiling water. Set this mixture aside to thicken for about ten minutes. When the cereal has absorbed the water and become thick, add the butter or margarine, molasses, and honey. Set this aside to cool to about 115 degrees F.
2. When the cereal mixture has cooled, combine the granulated yeast, sugar and warm water. Mix and set aside to proof.
3. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of the biblical bread grain mix flour with the 2 ½ cups of whole wheat flour and non-fat dry milk.

4. After the yeast has proofed, combine it with the cooled cereal in a bowl large enough to mix in the flour.
5. Mix the blended flour into the yeast cereal mixture, one cup at a time, until completely incorporated. Continue to add part of the remaining 1 cup of grain mix for bread flour, a little at a time, until the dough becomes firm. Use the remaining flour during kneading.
6. Knead the dough until it’s smooth, elastic, and not sticky.
7. Transfer the dough to a well oiled bowl, cover and allow it to rise until it doubles in bulk. When the first rising is complete, punch down the dough, remove it from the bowl and knead it for another five minutes.
8. Divide the dough into two equal-sized balls and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
9. Shape the dough into two loaves and place each into well oiled 9”x5”x3” loaf pans. Cover the pans with a clean cloth and allow them to rise until they double in bulk.
10. Bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour or until the whole grain bread mix sounds hollow when tapped with your knuckles.
