Birdseed Bread

Ok, not birdseed really. just reminds me of it. we love this for it's nutty flavor. it is a very substancial bread and makes a great piece of toast. i use 1 more t of millet and sunflowerseeds each and use rolled 6 grain instead of oats for us.

Steps

Dissolve yeast in warm water and 1 / 2 t sugar.

Add salt , honey , margarine , and buttermilk.

Then add all seeds , corn meal , and rolled oats.

Then whole wheat flour and oat flour.

While its mixing slowly add the bread flour.

You may need more or less of the bread flour , just enough till nice and elastic.

Knead well by hand or with mixer.

Place in a sprayed bowl and cover with a towel.

Let rise till doubled.

This is a heavy bread and may take awhile , placing in a warm place will aid this.

Punch down and divide in 1 / 2.

Shape into loaves and place in greased pans , cover , and allow to rise till doubled again.

Bake in 375 preheated oven for 30 minutes or till tops are browned and bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
