This is a nice soft loaf which used bits of flours and grains that 
are in my freezer. I put the ingredients in the bread machine and 
then took the dough out to shape it and then rise on the counter.

    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       1/2           cup  hulled sunflower seeds -- (2 1/2 ounces)
       1/2           cup  sesame seeds -- (2 1/2 ounces)
    4        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- (1/2 stick, 2 ounces) 
cut in 6 pieces
    1 1/4           cups  milk -- (10 ounces) heated to lukewarm
    2          teaspoons  dark sesame oil
       1/2           cup  traditional whole-wheat flour -- (2 ounces)
       1/2           cup  old-fashioned rolled oats -- (1 3/4 ounces)
       1/4           cup  whole yellow cornmeal -- (1 1/8 ounces)
       1/4           cup  whole rye flour -- (pumpernickel)   (1 ounce)
    2               cups  unbleached all-purpose flour -- (8 1/2 ounces)
       1/4           cup  firmly packed light brown sugar-- (1 7/8 
ounces) or dark brown sugar
    1 1/4      teaspoons  salt
    2 1/4      teaspoons  instant yeast

Yield: One 9 x 5-inch loaf, 18 slices. BAKING TEMPERATURE: 350F.
BAKING TIME: 45 to 50 minutes.

While wheat and oats are the most common whole-grains found in yeast 
breads, pumpernickel (whole rye, the rye equivalent of whole-wheat 
flour) and cornmeal also make frequent appearances. Here their flavor 
joins the nutty taste of sesame and sunflower seeds in a soft 
sandwich loaf. A touch of sesame oil highlights this bread's 
"nuttiness" and gives the loaf an enticing aroma as well. If you're a 
secret peanut-butter-and-jelly aficionado, but embarrassed to admit 
to such juvenile cravings, this bread makes a nice grown-up version 
of that sandwich.

Pumpernickel and whole cornmeal, unlike whole-wheat and oats, aren't 
available at most supermarkets. (The familiar cornmeal in the round 
cardboard box doesn't qualify as whole-grain, since it's had its germ 
removed.) The natural-foods section of some supermarkets (and 
natural-foods and health-food stores) may carry these flours; or find 
a mail-order source.

Place the sunflower and sesame seeds in an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan. 
Bake them in a preheated 350F oven until the sesame seeds are 
beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove them from the oven.

Combine all the ingredients, including the seeds, and mix and knead 
them by hand, mixer or bread machine - until you have a soft, smooth 
dough. Cover and allow the dough to rise until it's puffy and nearly 
doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.

Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Gently deflate the dough, and 
shape it into a 9-inch log. Place it in the prepared pan. Cover it 
gently with lightly greased plastic wrap or a proof cover, and allow 
it to rise till it's crowned about 1 inch over the rim of the pan, 1 
to 2 hours. Near the end of the bread's rise, preheat the oven to 350F.

Uncover and bake the bread for 45 to 50 minutes, tenting it with foil 
after 15 minutes. The bread is done when it's golden brown and an 
instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 190F. 
Remove it from the oven, and after a minute or so turn it out onto a 
rack. Brush with melted butter, if desired; this will keep the crust 
soft. Cool the bread for 30 minutes before slicing.
