Cook's notes

If the ingredients are at room temperature, add warm water. If the ingredients are cold from the refrigerator, add hot water.

Ingredients

2 1/2 t yeast
3 c whole wheat flour
1 T steel-cut oats
2 T powdered milk
2 T cinnamon
3 T wheat gluten
2 T wheat germ
1 large egg
2 T yogurt
1 1/2 T canola or safflower oil
1 1/2 T honey
1 1/3 c warm or hot water
1 c packed raisins

Steps

• Add all of the ingredients, except the raisins, to the bread machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Set the machine for manual baking.
• Toward the end of the second kneading, add the raisins. Most bread machines signal you when it is time to add ingredients, such as raisins, that you do not want pureed.
• After the second kneading, at your convenience, you can either remove the dough immediately or let it rise a second time in the machine.
• Remove the dough from the bread machine and shape into a round loaf. Place the dough on a nonstick or lightly oiled cookie sheet. Cover with a towel and put it in a warm place to rise. Ideally, use a 110°F oven. Leave the dough to rise until it has doubled its size, 1/2 hour to an hour.
• Preheat oven to convection bake 350°F. For a regular oven, preheat to 375°F.
• Remove the towel and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
• When it is finished, the bread will be brown and make a hollow sound when you thump the bottom.
