   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/4           cups  whole-wheat flour
   1                cup  bread flour
   1                cup  warm water -- (100 to 110)
   1            package  dry yeast -- (about 2 1/4 teas.)
      1/2           cup  flax seeds
   2        tablespoons  flax seeds
   3        tablespoons  nonfat dry milk
   2        tablespoons  All-Bran® Cereal -- shreds of wheat bran cereal
   3        tablespoons  honey
   1         tablespoon  molasses
   1           teaspoon  salt
   3        tablespoons  bread flour
                         Cooking spray
   2          teaspoons  cornmeal
   1              large  egg white -- lightly beaten
   1           teaspoon  flax seeds

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife.
Combine the bread flour, water, and yeast in a large bowl; stir well with a
whisk.  Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.

  Place 1/2 cup flaxseed in a spice or coffee grinder, process until finely
ground to measure 3/4 cup.  Add the ground flaxseed, whole-wheat flour, 2
tablespoons whole flaxseed, and next 5 ingredients (2 tablespoons flaxseed
though salt) to the yeast mixture, and stir until a soft dough forms (dough
will feel tacky).  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead
until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of remaining 3
tablespoons bread flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent the dough from
sticking to hands.  Shape dough into a 5-inch round loaf; place onto a
baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal.  Brush
loaf with egg white; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flaxseed.  Make 3 diagonal
cuts 1/4-inch-deep across top of loaf using a sharp knife.  Cover and let
rise in a warm place (85F) 1 hour or until doubled in size.  (Press two
fingers into dough.  If the indentation remains, the dough has risen
enough).

Preheat oven to 375.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when tapped.  Remove
from pan; cool on a wire rack.

Description:
   "This small, dense, round loaf is made with flaxseed, a nutty-flavored
   grain that is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fats.  Slice some thick
   wedges of this hearty bread to go along with soup or stew."

or freezer. It will stay fresh for up to 6 months.

   1                  c  dried mixed fruit -- coarsely chopped
      1/3             c  packed brown sugar
   2              tbsps  vegetable oil
   1                tsp  salt
   1                 lg  egg -- beaten
      1/2             c  seedless red grapes
                         cooking spray
   2               tsps  vegetable oil
   1               tbsp  sunflower seeds

Preheat oven to 350.

Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet.  Bake nuts at 350 for 15 minutes,
stirring once.  Turn nuts out onto a towel.  Roll up towel; rub off skins.
Chop nuts.

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

Combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, warm water, and yeast in a large bowl,
and stir well with a whisk.  Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.

Add the hazelnuts, 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, dried fruit,
sugar, 2 tbsp oil, salt, and egg to yeast mixture, and stir until a soft
dough forms (dough will feel tacky).  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured
surface.  Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough
of remaining all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough
from sticking to hands.  Arrange grapes over dough, gently knead on a
lightly floured surface 4 to 5 times or just until grapes are incorporated
into dough.  Place dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Shape
into an 8-inch round loaf.  Brush dough with 2 tsp oil.  Sprinkle surface of
dough with sunflower kernels, gently pressing kernels into dough.  Cover and
let rise in a warm place (85 F), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until
doubled in size.  (Press two fingers into dough.  If indentation remains,
the dough has risen enough.)

Preheat oven to 375.

Uncover dough.  Bake at 375 for 35 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow
when tapped.  Remove loaf from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack.

   1               tbsp  vegetable oil
   1                tsp  salt

from sticking to hands (the dough will feel tacky).  Place dough into a 9 x
5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.  Cover and let rise 30 minutes or
until doubled in size.  (Press two fingers into dough.  If indentation

sounds hollow when tapped.  Remove from pan; cool on a wire rack.

   breads, this dense, flat-topped loaf is perfect for that lunchtime
   favorite."

   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/2              c  whole wheat flour -- divided
      1/2             c  rye flour
      1/4             c  all-purpose flour
   1 1/2              c  1% low-fat milk -- warmed (100-110 degrees)
   2              tbsps  all-Bran® Cereal
   1                pkg  dry yeast
      1/2             c  water
   2              tbsps  uncooked wheat berries
   6              tbsps  chopped walnuts -- divided
   3              tbsps  honey
   1                tsp  salt
                         cooking spray
   1                tsp  vegetable oil

Lightly spoon the flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

Combine warm milk, 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, cereal, and yeast in a large
bowl; stir well with a whisk.  Cover and let stand at room temperature 1
hour.

Combine 1/2 cup water and wheat berries in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until mixture boils.  Cover and let stand 1
hour.  Drain.

Add the wheat berries, 2 cups whole-wheat flour, rye flour, 1/2 cup walnuts,
honey, and salt to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms (dough will
feel tacky).  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead until
smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of all-purpose flour, 1
tablespoon at a time, to prevent the dough from sticking to hands.  Place
dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Shape into an 8 inch
round loaf.  Make a 1/4-inch-deep "X" design in top of dough using a sharp
knife.  Brush dough with oil, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons walnuts.
Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 30 minutes or until
double in size.  (Press two fingers into dough.  If indentation remains, the
dough has risen enough.)

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Uncover dough.  Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when
tapped.  Remove from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack.

NOTES : This dense, round loaf is great for sandwiches or as an
accompaniment to a meal, soup or stew.  Wheat berries, which can be cooked
and eaten as a cereal or softened and added to baked goods, are whole,
unprocessed kernals of wheat.  Look for them in health-food stores and some
supermarkets.
