Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cup seven-grain cereal; 2-1/2 cups water; 1/3 cup molasses; 1/4 cup butter, cubed; 6-1/4 to 7 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup whole wheat flour; 1/3 cup packed brown sugar; 3 teaspoons salt; 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) quick-rise yeast; 2 large eggs

Servings: persons

1
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine cereal and water. Cover and cook on high for 4 minutes (mixture will be liquidy). Stir in molasses and butter. Let stand until mixture cools to 120u00b0-130u00b0, stirring occasionally.
2
In a large bowl, combine 4 cups all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt and yeast. Add cereal mixture to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky).
3
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. Shape into loaves. Place in two 9x5-in. loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4
Bake at 350u00b0 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
