Preparation

Step 1

In a large microwave safe bowl, combine cereal and water. Cover and cook on high for 4 minutes ( mixture will be liquidy) Stir in molasses and butter. Let stand until mixture cools to 120-130 degrees, stirring occasionally.

In a large bowl combine 4 cups flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt and yeast. Add cereal mixture. Beat just until moistened. Add eggs. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky).

Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans coated with cooking spray.

Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
