Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 32 Servings

30 30 60

Ingredients

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1-3/4 cups fat-free milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup reduced-fat granola without raisins
1 cup rye flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and chopped

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk, honey and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in whole wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Stir in the granola, rye flour, cornmeal, oats and almonds.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface. Divide in half; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape each portion into a ball. Place on a greased baking sheet; flatten into 5-in. circles. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes; cover with oil. Bake 10 minutes longer or until bread sounds hollow when tapped. Remove to a wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).
