Ever had a recipe that everyone loves? This bread is one of those. Even my kids love it! They've been a little picky about homemade bread, but this one is my "go-to" recipe. A lot of whole wheat bread recipes tend to be a bit dense, but this one has the perfect texture. Props to my super friend Adri for sharing it with me!
2 cups water
1/2 stick butter
2 1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. oatmeal
1/4 c. 9-grain cereal (or wheat germ, or oatmeal- I use wheat germ and ground flax seed)
1/8 c. wheat gluten
1 1/2 c. white flour (plus extra for kneading)
3 c. whole wheat flour
1 TBSP yeast
1 or 2 eggs
Microwave water and butter on high for 1 minute (120-130 degrees). Meanwhile, mix salt, sugar, oatmeal, cereal, flour and yeast. Add egg(s) and water/butter and mix for 1 minute, until combined. Put bread hook on mixer and mix (knead) for 10 minutes, adding flour until it doesn’t stick to the bowl any longer. After 10 minutes of kneading, cover and let rise 1 hour. Divide dough in 2 loaves, roll under, and put in prepared loaf pans. Raise, lightly covered, for 30 minutes or until double in size. Bake at 350˚ for 28 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

My kids love to put Nutella on it and eat it like dessert!
Perfect, thanks!
