Burlap Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 to 5 1/2 c. flour
    1 c. rolled oats
    1/2 c. bran flakes
    2 pkg. quick rise yeast
    1/3 c. wheat germ
    1 Tbsp. salt
    2 c. water
    2 Tbsp. margarine
    1/2 c. molasses
Preparation
    Mix first 6 ingredients well.
    Heat last 3 ingredients to 120\u00b0 to 130\u00b0.
    Add the liquid ingredients to 2 cups of the flour (margarine does not need to be melted).
    Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
    By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough.
    Knead on floured surface 5 to 8 minutes.
    Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top.
    Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 30 minutes. Punch down.
    Divide into 2 parts.
    On lightly floured surface, roll or pat each half to a 14 x 7-inch rectangle.
    Starting with short side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch ends to seal.
    Place in greased pan; let rise until double. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 35 to 40 minutes, until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
