Hearty Bread

I'm fooling around with my new bread maker. I combined mom's favorite bread recipe with some from the book that came with my bread maker. It's healthy, hearty, and stays together in soups:

1.25 c hot water
1T yeast
1/2 onion, chopt
2 eggs
1/3 c oil
1t salt
1/4t baking powder
4c flour
2.5T oats
2.5T sunflower seeds
1/4c flax

Enjoy!

I like the oats and flax! Seems like a good alternative to the wheatberries. Do you like olives in that bread? What kind of flour did you use? Are you baking it in the breadmaker? I bet it smells fabulous.

I used king arthur organic whole wheat flour--delicious, but expensive. Unfortunately, it's the only type of whole wheat flour super fresh sells! I'd like to try it with sesame seeds. Do you buy them in bulk? If so, can I have some next time I come home? Superfresh only sells the McCormick containers. We're baking it in the breadmaker.

I don't have sesame seeds in the cabinet at the moment, but I try to get them whenever I go to the Vienna Whole Foods. There's also a seed place online I've used. I like the King Arthur traditional or whatever it's called. Actually, I think it has marvelous taste. My Superfresh just has Hodgson's Mill, which is a much coarser grind, and is good, but it's harder to get a dough out of it.
