Ingredients

3/4 cup water

1 1/4 cups white bread flour

1/4 cup wheat bread flour

1 tablespoon dry milk

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup seven-grain rolled cereal

2 tablespoons wheat germ

1 tablespoon oat bran

1 tablespoon cracked wheat

1 1/2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon fast rise or machine yeast

teaspoon (or 1 ½ active dry yeast)

Preparation

Place the ingredients in the bread pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Process on the Regular, Rapid, or Delayed cycle.

Hints: Any unsweetened multi-grain cereal should work in this bread. For accent and crunch, sprinkle a few oats on top after the final rise, just before baking.

This recipe yields a 1 1/2 pound loaf.

Comments: Packed with good-for-you stuff! All those grains give it a full, rich flavor - and enough body to stick to your ribs. If you want the benefits of cereal and the timeliness of toast, this is the bread for you.

Yield: 1 loaf
