100% WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT BREAD
If you like fluffy brown bread this is it. No white flour here. You can use any 100% whole grain wheat flour. I mill my own. This bread is not heavy like most 100% whole wheat breads. If it is you used too much flour and your dough was too stiff. If it flattens out and won't stand up you need more flour. The total amount of flour is usually about 6 1/2 to 7 cups. This recipe has been in my family for years and we all make it. We make a lot more now that we have powerful mixers and the hand kneading is bye bye.

Steps:
- Place the first five ingredients in the bowl and mix.
- Add: 2 Cups 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour. (to cool the water and end up with warm dough) Mix then add 2 Tbs of Dry Active Yeast. If your not sure about your yeast proof it in a little warm water first.
- Add: 4 Cups of 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour.
- Mix until the consistency is some what even. Then continue to slowly add flour 1/2 Cup at a time until the dough quits sticking to the sides of the bowl. It should be tacky to the touch. The trick is to have enough consistency to stand up with the least amount of flour so the bread will be fluffy. It will most likely be 6 1/2 cups but in any case do not exceed 7 1/2 cups of wheat flour. You can trade one cup of wheat flour for one cup of all purpose white if you wish. Don't over mix or the bread will be tough.
- When your dough is finished, leave it in the mixer, cover the bowl and let it rise for about 30-45 minutes. The dough will be larger but it doesn't need to double.
- Grease two bread pans with Crisco. You can also flour the pans to reduce sticking.
- Mix the dough again just enough to knock it down at least close to the original size.
- Drop the dough on a floured surface so you can work the dough and shape it. Shape it with your hands to make a nice ball getting enough flour on it so it isn't sticky. Divide the ball in half and do it again. Shape the loaves by turning the dough under it's self over and over. When the dough is shaped the sides and ends will be sealed and all you will see is a nice oblong shaped loaf with smooth sides and top. Drop the loaves in your bread pans and let them rise until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 36 minutes. If you forgot to preheat 41 minutes. (gas oven).
- When done turn the bread out of the pan to a rack to cool. You can eat it right away (a great time for real butter) don't wrap it until completely cooled. (Condensation will make it soggy) Put in tinfoil to store on the counter. If you put it in the refrigerator it will turn into a brick. Enjoy.

Steps:
- In a small microwave safe bowl, mix the flax seed, bulgar wheat, and pearl barley. Add 1 cup of water, mix well, cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes. When finished, set aside to cool while you mix the dry ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, oats, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Cut in/mix in the seeds/grains until well blended.
- Add remaining 2 cups water and mix until well blended.
- Bake in center of your oven at 400 for 45 minutes.
- (Note: The dough will be very moist and sticky, so do not try to knead or work with your hands. However, it should not be so wet that it acts like a batter. Use a spatula to transfer it direcly from the mixing bowl to a greased/vegetable sprayed 4x4x8 loaf pan. My wife and I eat a low-sodium diet, so we don't add any extra salt, and use Featherlite baking powder. When making it this way, the total sodium per slice falls to 42 mg.
- Hope you enjoy!

- Turn out and knead for 2 minutes, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough, about 10 minutes. Put back in bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled.

EASY WHOLE GRAIN BREAD
This recipe is my adaptation from the Grant Loaf in the Food Combining book. I use a wholewheat bread flour with flax and sunflower seeds. This is the easiest bread I have ever made, and it is now our everyday bread. There is no kneading required and it only raises once. I bake about 3-4 loaves per week. It's great as toast! If you like more flax in your diet, add up to a 1/2C of ground flax. You may then want more water.

WHAT IS THE HEALTHIEST BREAD? 7 SCRUMPTIOUS OPTIONS
From healthline.com
- Sprouted whole grain. Sprouted bread is made from whole grains that have started to sprout from exposure to heat and moisture. Sprouting has been shown to increase the amount and availability of certain nutrients (1).
- Sourdough. Sourdough is made through a fermentation process that relies on naturally occurring yeast and bacteria to make the bread rise (8). Fermentation helps reduce the number of phytates, also known as phytic acid, that bind to certain minerals and impair their absorption (9).
- 100% whole wheat. Whole grains keep the entire grain intact, including the germ, endosperm, and bran. The bran, which is the hard, outer layer, is high in fiber (15).
- Oat bread. Oat bread is typically made from a combination of oats, whole-wheat flour, yeast, water, and salt. Since oats are highly nutritious and linked to a number of health benefits, oat bread can be a healthy choice.
- Flax bread. Flax bread, which is made primarily from whole-grain flours and flax seeds, is one of the healthiest breads you can eat. This is because flax seeds are highly nutritious and offer a number of health benefits.
- 100% sprouted rye bread. Rye closely resembles wheat but is usually darker and denser. Traditional rye bread is only made from rye flour and does not contain any wheat flour, whereas most modern rye breads are made from a combination of the two.
- Healthy gluten-free bread. Gluten-free breads are made without glutenous grains like wheat, rye, or barley. They are safe options for people who need to avoid gluten, such as those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
