Total Time: 3 hrs 5 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup buckwheat groats
• 1/2 cup barley flour
• 1 cup whole oats
• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 3 teaspoons yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup water, warm
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1/3 cup honey
• 3 tablespoons melted butter, for the tops after they've cooked

Recipe

• 1 mix warm water, yeast, honey, buttermilk, salt, oil together.
• 2 mix all flours and buckwheat together.
• 3 add half the flour mix to the wet mix and blend on a low speed of your mixer until combined
• 4 add the second half of the flour mixture a cup at a time until completely blended. you may need a little more or little less flour. it should form a nice ball and not creep up your dough hook.
• 5 let the mixer knead the dough for 7 or 8 minutes.
• 6 place in an oil bowl, turn dough to cover with oil. cover and rest in a warm draft free place for around an hour (may need longer). dough should double, you will know when you push a finger in the center and it does not come back up.
• 7 punch down, form into two loaves and put in two loaf pans -- i do a big and small 9x5 pan and 8 1/2 by 4 /12. be careful to shape as you want it, they will not smooth out as they rise.
• 8 cover and rise again until the dough is rounded over the tops of the pans.
• 9 cook at 375 for 35 minutes or until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• 10 remove to wire racks to cool to avoid the bottoms getting soggy. top with the melted butter.
