Trail Mix Sourdough Bread

---

For this recipe i used a kitchen aide mixer to mix and knead the dough. You can of course do it by hand or you can follow your bread machines instructions for bread with mix-ins. I have not tried using this recipe in a bread machine so i do not know what the outcome will be! I used 6 cups of flour, but you may need to adjust to make the dough just stiff enough to handle.do not add to much flour. The prep time includes rising time.

Steps

---

In your kitchenaide mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment , mix together all of the bread ingedients , except the flour , until blended.

---

Add the flour 2 cups at a time until the dough comes together and you can touch it without it completely sticking to your fingers.

---

A little sticky is ok as long as you can pick it up in one ball.

---

Knead with the dough hook for 8 minutes.

---

Then remove and place the dough in a large greased bowl , making sure all the dough has been lightly coated with grease.

---

Cover and let rise until double in size , this took about 2 hours for me.

---

While the dough is rising , mix together the filling ingrdients and set aside in the refrigerator.

---

Once the dough has doubled pour the filling over the dough and punch down , mixing the filling into the dough as you fold dough over itself.

---

Turn the dough out onto a very well floured surface.

---

Knead the dough about 12 times to get the filling well combined int he dough.

---

Mixing the filling in will get kind of mes.
