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)
5. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a very lightly damp towel, and let rise to double its size.
6. Punch dough down. Fold over and and transfer to a greased 8inchx4inch loaf pan. Re-shape to match loaf pan.
7. Cover and let rise (15minutes or to double its size).
8. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes.
Makes 8 1-inch slices.

Ok so 10 days ago, I know because today is supposed to be the day I cause my friends to deal with fermenting starter in their kitchens for ten days and mine is ready to be cooked. Well, if you have ever gotten this stuff then you know the original recipe calls for 1 cup of oil. ONE CUP OF OIL! hell no. And its wheat based. BOOOOORING. So since you are supposed to spread the luv of friendship bread, i decided to to experiment a bit with different recipes. Here's #1. Oh and i'm saving at least 1 cup to complete the cycle again so that I can make more experiments.
