1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees if conventional, or 300 degrees if convection.
-
2
In a large bowl, combine the oats, almonds, sesame seeds, wheat germ, dried milk, pastry flour, sunflower seeds and salt.
-
3
In a large sauce pan over low heat, warm the honey and oil together. Do not overheat, or the granola will have a burned taste. Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well.
-
4
Divide the granola between 2 half sheet pans or rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, toss granola, spread out again and bake 10 minutes more.
-
5
Remove from oven a second time, toss and spread out, breaking up any big chunks. Bake for 10 minutes more. The granola should feel dry but not too dark.
-
6
Remove from the oven and cool completely; if after cooling, the granola feels soft, you can bake again until it feels dry. (Do not bake again after you've added the dried fruit.)
-
7
Once granola is completely cool, add the raisins or dried fruit. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to four weeks.
