Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Add the water, honey and softened butter to the bread machine pan first.

2. Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour, dry milk powder, brown sugar and salt on top of the liquids, spreading them evenly so the liquid is covered.

3. Make a small well in the flour and add the bread machine yeast into the well, keeping it away from the salt.

4. Select a whole grain or basic cycle for a 1 to 1.5 pound loaf with a medium crust, then start the machine.

5. Add the wheat and barley nugget cereal at the mix-in signal, or about 10 minutes before the last kneading ends, so the nuggets stay crunchy.

6. Let the machine finish the full cycle, about 3 hours, until the loaf is deep golden on top.

7. Remove the loaf from the pan, set it on a rack and cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
