10 Grain Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup ten grain cereal, I used Bob's Red Mill
1 cup water
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
2 cups water, with
4 ice cubes (optional)
2 tablespoons instant yeast
5 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon salt
5 tablespoons gluten flour
7 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup whole flax seed (optional)

Preparation

Mix together the cereal and first amount of water in a saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes to soften the cereal.
If you want you can set it aside to cool or mix together with cool water and ice cubes to cool it faster.
Put all ingredients into a KitchenAid mixer. Mix together using the dough hook, once everything is mixed together knead for 2 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl and let sit for 1 hour or until doubled in size. I have also rushed this recipe and let it sit for as little as 15 minutes.
Punch down and divide into 4 equal pieces. I use a scale to ensure they are the same size. Shape dough and place into greased bread pans.
Let rise for 1 hour or until double in size.
Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
