Nutty Bread

Warm oven to about 170 degrees.  Use 2 small bread pans.  The dough doesn't raise high enough for the big pans.   

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup wheat gluten
1/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup wheat bran
1/4 cup ground flaxseeds (flax seed meal)
1/4 cup instant potatoes
2 tsp salt
3/4 cup shelled sunflower seeds ( unroasted )
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  

Mix together.  

Dissolve 
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups warm water
2 TBs yeast
1/4 cup canola oil

Let sit for a few minutes and then stir in with dry ingredients.  Mix on high speed for 3 minutes.  

Add 1 cup of white flour.  Mix on slow.  Add more white flour until the dough is stiff, it will be a little sticky.

Dust the flour and a kneading surface and work in a little more flour so dough isn't so sticky.  Knead dough for 3-4 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Spray a bowl with oil and put dough in the bowl and place in the oven to raise for 30-45 minutes.  

Divide the dough into halves.  Spray the kneading surface with oil, then work any air bubbles out of the dough.  

Shape the dough into loaves, put into pans and put the pans in warm oven and let raise for 30 minutes.  
Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes.  When done let the loaves cool for 5 minutes then cool on rack.
