Oatmeal Bread to Live For

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 1/4 cup hot water
  
• 1 tablespoon vegan brown sugar
  
• 1 cup oatmeal
  
• 2 to 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  
• 1 tablespoon vital gluten
  
• 1& 1/4 teaspoon yeast
  
• 2 teaspoon canola oil
  
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
  
• 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  

Directions:

Put water, oil and vegan sugar in the bread machine. Add the
oatmeal and let it sit for five minutes. Add 2 cups of
flour. Make a well in the middle of the flour for the yeast
and carefully add the salt around the edges.
Turn on the bread machine, (Use a setting for 1.5 lb. loaf,
dark if you have it.) If the dough seems too sticky, add
additional flour as required. When you have a nice dough
going, add the sunflower seeds.

This is a sturdy loaf, very nourishing. Great with salads,
soups, as sandwiches or toasted with jam. In the winter,
spring, summer, fall…
