0.75 c Bob's Red Mill 7-10 Grain Cereal
0.5 c Wheat Bran
0.33 c Bulgar Wheat
2.25 c Water
Allow to cool to 105*F or lower.

0.75 c Agave Nectar (Blue Organic)
0.25 c Water
Heat to 105*F, stir in yeast
3 tbsp Yeast (Active-Dry)

Join in 7 qt stand mixer, using dough hook on slow knead setting.
2.5 c Water - warm
0.5 c Canola or other light veg oil
1 c Powdered Milk
0.5 c Gluten
4 c Whole Wheat Flour
2 c White Bread Flour

Knead approximately 10 min, will be wet and loose. Sprinkle in
3 tsp Salt and
1 - 2 c White Bread Flour

Knead until a ball forms, 10 min.
Place in large oiled bowl, cover, allow to rise at 70-80*F until doubled in size. WW is slow, 1.5-2.5 hrs. Punch down, repeat, 45-60 min. Form loaves, in oiled bread pans allow to rise again to double, 30-45 min.

Bake at 375*F for 25+ min (all ovens are different and cooking time will vary with loaf size/shape). You are looking for a golden-brown crust and about 195*F internal temperature.

Move to wire-rack to cool. Allow 30+ min before cutting.

Enjoy -- Craig
