Place warm water, molasses and yeast in the Cuisinart
®
mixing bowl. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes until mixture is
foamy and bubbly.
While yeast is proofi ng, combine 2 cups (500 ml) of
whole wheat fl our with 1 cup (250 ml) bread fl our, oats,
vital wheat gluten, and salt. Add the fl our mixture to the
yeast mixture. Insert the dough hook and mix on speed
2 for 2 minutes. Combine remaining fl ours and reserve.
Add the oil, fl ax seeds, poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds,
sesame seeds, sunfl ower seeds and optional nuts. Mix
for an additional 2 minutes on speed 3.
Continuing on speed 3, add the remaining fl our 1
tablespoon (15 ml) at a time until a dough ball forms
that clings to the dough hook and cleans the sides of
the bowl. Set the timer for 4 minutes to allow the dough
to knead. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover and let rise in a
warm, draft-free place until volume is doubled, about 1
to 1½ hours.
Lightly coat two 8x4x3-inch (20 x 10 x 6 cm) loaf pans
with unsalted butter or cooking spray. Divide dough into
2 equal pieces and shape into loaves. Place in prepared
pans, cover and let rise until dough comes up over the
top of the pan by about ¾ inch (1.9 cm). While dough
is rising, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake loaves for 35 to 45 minutes, until lightly browned
and hollow sounding when tapped. Remove from pans
and let cool on a wire rack. Bread slices best when
allowed to cool completely before slicing.
