Multigrain Bread

'But I still haven't found what I'm looking for' goes the lyrics of the U2 song. And so it is with my quest for a decent loaf of whole wheat type bread.

This recipe included a cup of whole wheat flour (for one loaf) along with some molasses, sunflower seeds, oat flakes and flax seeds. It looked okay, aside from the deep slice I made down the middle that gave it the look of a two-humped camel. Glenn said, "No, it looks like someone fell face first into the pan." Ha - I had to think about that for a moment.

But the texture was disappointing once again. It was too heavy/ chewy/ mucky - just not what I'm trying to achieve. Back to the drawing board or, in this case, the kneading board.
