With a can of beer and rich molasses, this crusty loaf is all kinds of moist! Rye, spelt and whole wheat flours add extra nutrition and great flavour, while honey-roasted sunflower seeds and raisins add interest and texture. Ingredients:
1/2 cup vital wheat gluten |
3 cups whole wheat bread flour |
1/2 cup rye flour |
1/2 cup spelt flour |
1/2 tbsp instant yeast |
1 tsp sea salt |
1 bottle (12 oz) beer, warmed |
1/2 cup warm water |
1/2 cup molasses |
1 tbsp melted butter |
1/4 cup honey roasted sunflower seeds |
1/4 cup raisins |

Directions:
1. Whisk together the gluten, flours, yeast and salt in a large bowl or stand mixer.
