Bird Seed Bread

Either use a KitchenAid or the dough setting on a bread machine.

Load into the bowl:
2 cups bread flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup rye flour
2 TBSP toasted sesame seeds
2 TBSP cracked wheat
2 TBSP roasted pine nuts
4 TBSP millet
3 TBSP flaxseed
3 TBSP granola
1½ TBSP gluten
1½ TBSP sugar
1½ tsp yeast
1½ tsp salt
2 tsp oat bran

Mix thoroughly. Add:
2 TBSP butter
1½ cups whole milk; maybe a bit left.

Mix really well. Cover & let it raise for 40 minutes. Grease two cast iron frying pans: one 6”, the other 10”. Butter the pans, and pour some oil into the bottom. Divide the dough 2/3 and 1/3. Shape carefully, and place upside down in the frying pan to cover the top with oil, and then invert to right side up. Let it raise until it’s doubled.

Bake in a pre-heated, 350° oven for 22 minutes, or until the bread is done. Enjoy hot with fresh butter.
