multi grain bread

This bread rocks! I've been making it for a few years. On occasion i might add some other flours i might have in the hours. Makes some of the best pb&j sandwiches ever. And lunch sandwiches. Its super dense, the only thing it doesn't work well for is french bread. Its too moist.

4 grain Poppyseed & Flaxseed Wheat Bread

Ingredients
1.5 tbsp cornmeal
1 tbsp flaxseed
2 tbsp wheat germ
2 tbsp wheat bran
2 tbsp rolled oats
1 tbsp quinoa flour
1 cup white flour
3/4 cup wheat flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp poppyseed
2 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)

Directions
1. In a small bowl combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let proof (about 10 minutes).
2. In a food processor (or blender) combine all dry ingredients, leaving about 1/4 cup of white flour for kneading. Pulse to combine.
3. Place flour mixture in a medium bowl. Add yeast mixture. Mix until smooth.
4. Turn out on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. (6-8 minutes)
