Nutri Batter Bread

Nutri Batter Bread
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 teaspoon granulated (white) sugar
1 package (8 grams) instant dry yeast
1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup natural bran
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup sunflower or sesame or pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tablespoons butter or hard margarine, softened
3 Tablespoons mild molasses
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups additional whole wheat flour

In a small bowl, stir together the water and yeast. Sprinkle the yeast over top and let stand undisturbed for ten minutes until bubbly. Stir to dissolve yeast.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine next nine ingredients. Add 3 cups of flour, mix well. Cover bowl with greased waxed paper or plastic wrap and a damp tea towel. Let rise for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Stir batter down, mix in remaining flour. Divide dough evenly among two greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover pans with greased waxed paper or plastic wrap and a damp tea towel. Let rise for about one hour, or until doubled in size. Bake at 350◦F for about 30 minutes. 

This is yet another whole wheat bread recipe. It contains a lot of good stuff - oats, bran, wheat germ, seeds, whole wheat flour, and molasses. It makes two loaves, and is fairly easy because it does not require any kneading, and the two rises are fairly short. It makes good sandwich bread- easy to cut. The recipe comes from my go-to bread cookbook "Breads" by Company's Coming.
