How to Make 10 Grain Bread

1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup mixed 10-grain cereal and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until cereal is softened.
2. (Optional) Allow the cooked cereal to cool completely. To speed up the process, transfer to a bowl, add 1/2 cup cold water and 2-3 ice cubes; stir and allow to cool.
3. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, combine 1 cup warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
4. Add salt, olive oil, cooked cereal, and milk (if using) to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
5. Gradually add 4 cups of flour, mixing with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
6. Knead the dough with the dough hook for 2 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
7. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. (Can be as short as 15 minutes in a pinch)
8. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces (use a kitchen scale for accuracy).
9. Shape each piece into a loaf and place them in greased 9x5 inch loaf pans.
10. Let the loaves rise for another hour, or until doubled in size.
11. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
12. Remove loaves from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
