Seed Bread

1/2 cup bulgar
1/2 cup hot water
In a small bowl, mix hot water and bulgar, set aside.

In Bosch mixer, place the following ingredients.
1/2 cup warm water
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons yeast
Let yeast soften and bubble then add:
1/2 cup honey
3 Tablespoons canola oil
2 squirts of liquid lecithin (size of a quarter)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup warm milk

Give everything a good stir and add the following:
Your bulgar mixture from the small bowl
2 Tablespoons flax seed
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup potato flakes
1/2 old fashioned oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
Knead for 5-8 minutes.
Place in 4 bread pans and let rise until double in bulk. (30 minutes)
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

This is a very hearty bread.  This is Aunt Dorothy's recipe with a few changes.  The original had pumpkin seeds but I took those out as they made the bread too chewy.  If you want a denser, heavier bread, delete the lecithin.  I added it and it turned 3 loaves into 4 and lightened the bread quite a bit.  This is very tasty, healthy bread. It is fun to look and see just how many ingredients are in there.  And they are all good for you.
