a Recipe by Jake Nobello

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp active dry yeast

1 cup warm water

2 cups whole grain flour

1 cup oatmeal

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup raisins

2 tablespoons oil (olive oil or another vegetable oil)

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon flax seeds

1 tablespoon hemp seeds

1 tablespoon pine seeds

1 tablespoon sunflower seeds

Instructions:

Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole grain flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Also, add the oil, melted butter, and honey. Mix well until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Add Raisins: Incorporate the raisins into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or sprinkle a mist of moisture over the loaf, and cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size (or until it reaches desired height 1-2 inches above the pan).

Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the risen dough, then roll it, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Chop grains: flax seeds, hemp seeds, pine seeds, sunflower seeds, for 2-4 seconds in a blender; then sprinkle all or part of the chopped grains/seeds over the loaf. Then Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool: Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
