Grape Oats Flaxseed Molasses Wheat Bread.

Instructions

1. 1

   Warm 1/4 cup(60ml) water and add sugar and yeast to it. Mix well and keep aside for 10 minutes or until frothy.

2. 2

   In a blender, add flax seed and oats and grind coarsely. Just a few quick short pulses.

3. 3

   Add grapes and molasses and blend till grapes are blended. Use water if needed, though the grapes will be moist enough to make a puree.

4. 4

   Grease the mixer bowl and add in the flours and salt. Mix well.

5. 5

   Add in the oil, grape mixture, water and yeast mixture and vegan butter(optional, substitute another tablespoon of oil) and knead for 10-12 minutes(batches of 3-4 minutes and then scrape the bowl and wait for the mixer to cool a little if too warm)

6. 6

   Dough should be soft and pliable. Use more flour or water if needed. The molasses will give the dough a nice brown color and some additional stickiness.

7. 7

   Place dough in well oiled container, covered with plastic wrap in a warm place for 1.5 hours

8. 8

   Punch dough down and knead for a minute with additional flour if needed. Shape into loaf by pulling on all sides and tucking under. Use flour on hands to avoid dough sticking to hands.

9. 9

   Place loaf in well oiled bread pan and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Let rise for 45 minutes. Bake loaf at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes.

10. 10

    Cool completely before slicing. I usually place the cooled bread in the refrigerator for half an our before slicing with an electric knife for nice and clean slices!
