• 1/2 cup Cracked Wheat, Hard White Berries, Organic
• 1/2 cup Hulled Millet
• 1/3 cup Honey
• 3-4 tbsp Canola Oil
• 3 tbsp Yeast, Active Dry
• 1/2 cup Cornmeal, Coarse Grind
• 1/2 cup Milk Powder (Non-Fat Dry)
• 1/4 cup Toasted Wheat Germ
• 1/2 cup Regular Rolled Oats
• 2 tsp Sea Salt
• 1 cup Raw Shelled Sunflower Seeds
• 7-7 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 Egg White (Large)
• 1 tbsp Water

Preparation

Step 1

1. In saucepan combine boiling water, cracked wheat, and millet; simmer, covered for 5 minutes. Stir in honey and canola oil. Let cool to lukewarm (110 degrees). Stir in yeast till dissolved. Add the cornmeal, nonfat dry milk, 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ, rolled oats and salt. Stir in sunflower seeds.

2. Using a spoon, stir in as much of the whole wheat flour as you can. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl; turn once to coat. Cover and let rise in warm place till double (about 1 hour).

3. Punch down; turn out onto floured surface. Divide in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Shape into 2 loaves. Place each loaf into a greased 9"x5"x3" loaf pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double (45-60 minutes). Make 3 diagonal slashes across the top of each loaf. Brush tops with mixture of egg whites and water; sprinkle with crushed oats or wheat germ. Bake in a 375
