The Harvest Grain has 14 grains, and five grams of fiber per slice for a nutritional power house of a bread.   Sheila goes into how to make the whole grain base, get to the good dough stage before adding in the additional grains and seeds.   

Begin by soaking your ¼ cup of 9-grain mix in hot water to add later in the second step, not the first part of the sponge.

Initial first step of the sponge:

2 ½ cups of warm water (approximately 100 degrees)

2 packages of active dry yeast

3/4 cup of honey. 

2 and 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour (freshly milled, high protein bread flour is preferred)

TWO HOURS LATER preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray your loaf pans or large sheet pan.

SECOND MIXING that you add to the first step.

1 package of active dry yeast

3 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (add only 3 cups and hold back on the ½ cup of flour until you start kneading)

1 Tablespoon of salt.

After getting to that good dough stage than add the following:

¼ cup of sunflower seeds

2-T of poppy seeds

2-T of sesame seeds

2-T of flax seeds

2-T of pepitas (pumpkin seeds).

¼ cup of 9-grain mix. Drain the 9-grain mix and add it in.
