Wholesome Grain Loaves Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + rising Bake: 40 min.

Yield: 32 Servings

20 40 60

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2-3/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup graham flour or additional whole wheat flour
4 cups whole wheat flour
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup unsalted sunflower kernels

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the brown sugar, butter, egg, cinnamon, salt, graham flour and 3 cups whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining whole wheat flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface. Sprinkle with raisins and sunflower kernels. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 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 lightly floured surface; divide in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks cool. Yield: 2 loaves (16 loaves each).
