Ingredients
-
1 Cup RAW Red River Cereal
- 3 Cups Water
- 2 cups warm water
-
¼ Cup honey
-
2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ Cup oil
-
1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Seeds
-
1 Tablespoon Sunflower Seeds
- 2 Cups whole wheat flour
- 2 Tablespoons Quick Rise Yeast
-
6 Cups All Purpose Flour
Directions
Combine 3 cups water and cereal in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil. Stirring, frequently.
- Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat.
- Continue cooking for about 14 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat, cover with lid for 5 minutes.
- Cool mixture for 10-15 minutes before adding to bread ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients EXCEPT the white flour, mix well.
- Add 4 Cups white flour, mix well.
- Add the remaining 2 Cups of flour ½ cup at a time. At this point you are kneading the flour into the dough by hand.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and work in the last cup on the counter, until the dough feels soft but not sticky. This may take about 8-10 minutes. Put on some music and start kneading!!
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large well-greased bowl, turning dough to grease the surface.
- Cover the dough with a cloth
- Place in a warm place in your kitchen and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down and remove from the bowl.
- Cut the dough into three equal pieces.
- Take one piece of the dough and flatten with your hands into a rough 8 inch by 4 inch rectangle
- Roll the dough while flattening the dough at the same time to form into a log (you want to remove any air pockets).
- Pinch the seam and the ends of the dough together with your fingers. You want a nice smooth, even shaped log.
- Place the loaves into well-greased bread pans.
- Cover with a cloth and allow to rise for about 1 hour. The bread should double in size.
- Remove cloth and bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 35-40 minutes.
- If the bread loaves look like they are browning too fast. Gently lay a piece of tin foil over the top of the loaves.
- Remove bread from the oven when fully cooked and cool on a wire rack.
- Allow bread to fully cool before slicing.
