14 Grain Whole Wheat Bread

So this is from one of friends in the ward (actually it's her mom's recipe), and it is really really good! Thx Camille!

9-11 cups whole wheat flour (hard white wheat)
6 cups warm water
2 cups nine grain cereal
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cups sesame seeds
1/3 cups amaranth
1/3 cup millet
1/3 cup flax seed (must be ground)
2/3 cups canola oil
2/3 cups honey
½ cup wheat gluten
3 tablespoons dough enhancer
3 tablespoons yeast
2 tablespoons real salt

Grind 7 cups of whole wheat flour (hard white wheat).

In a blender grind the flax seed (it must be ground to use properly).

In your mixed combine 6 cups warm water and your grains (highlighted in yellow) plus 4 cups of ground
whole wheat. Let set for 10 minutes. Your mixture will begin to sponge.

Add 2/3 cups oil and 2/3 cups honey to your mixed. Your dough should start to bubble. Add ½ cups
gluten. Mix. Add 3 tablespoons dough enhancer and 3 tablespoons yeast (never add yeast and salt to
bread dough at the same time). Mix well.

Start adding flour ½ cup at a time until your dough is cleaned off the sides of your mixer (you might not
use all 7 cups – it depends on the weather, altitude, moisture, etc...). Add 2 tablespoons real salt at the
very end.

Knead in your mixer on low for 12 minutes (or medium for 8 minutes). Take the dough out of the mixer
and form into 5 large loaves- or 6 smaller loaves. Never add MORE flour to your dough – use oil on your
hands and counter top so that the dough does not stick. Let rise until double in size – time depends on
the temperature and altitude, about 30 minutes. Bake 350 degrees 35-40 minutes. DO NOT preheat
your oven. Put your loaves into the oven when you turn the oven on.

You can buy all the grains (highlighted in yellow) prepackaged at the Bosh store for $3 in Salt Lake /Orem.
If using a kitchen aid you will need to cut this recipe in half.
