    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    8             ounces  Nine-grain mix (*see Note)
    10            ounces  Water -- room temperature
    1 1/2         pounds  High gluten flour
    1 1/4         ounces  Vital wheat gluten
       3/4         ounce  Instant yeast
       3/4         ounce  Salt
    18      fluid ounces  Water -- temperature controlled
    1              pound  Old Dough -- (optional) room temperature

Soak the nine-grain mix in the water in a mixer bowl for 1 hour.

Sift the flour and the vital wheat gluten into the soaked grains. Add 
the instant yeast and the salt to the flour mixture. Mix on low speed 
to combine, then knead at medium speed until the dough is smooth and 
pulls away from the sides of the bowl and reaches 77F (25C).

Add the Old Dough, if using, in small pieces and continue mixing 
until a perfect window pane is reached.

Ferment the dough until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch down and divide the dough into 26oz  (780-gram) pieces. Mold 
the dough into plump oval loaves. Place them on paper-lined sheet 
pans or on floured canvas. Proof the dough in a warm area until the 
loaves increase 50% in volume, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Gently use the canvas to turn the loaves onto a floured peel or 
baking sheet. Score the loaves.

Bake at 400F (210C) with steam during the first few seconds of 
baking. Bake until the crust is a deep dark brown, approximately 40 
to 45 minutes.
