                         Large Loaf: 2 lb loaf -- Med Loaf: 1 1/2 lb.
   1                cup  water -- (3/4 cup plus 3 Tbsp)
      1/4           cup  oil -- (3 Tbsp)
      1/4           cup  molasses -- (3 Tbsp)
   2                tsp  cinnamon -- (3 Tbsp)
   2                tsp  salt -- (1 1/2 tsp)
   4               cups  whole wheat flour -- (3C)
   4 1/2           tsp.  Instant Yeast -- (1/2oz, 14g) (2 pkgs)
   2                     egg whites -- (1)
      2/3           cup  raisins -- (1/2C)
      2/3           cup  walnuts -- (1/2C)

Yield: 1 loaf or 12 to 16 rolls

Bread Machine Method: Have liquid ingredients at 80F and all others 
at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order specified 
in your owner's manual. Select basic cycle and medium/normal crust. 
Walnuts and raisins can be added 5 minutes before the end of the last 
kneading. Do not use the delay timer. Check dough consistency after 5 
minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it 
is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 TBSP at a time. If it is too 
wet and sticky, add 1 TBSP of flour at a time. See our Bread Machine 
section for more helpful tips and information.

Hand-Held Mixer Method: Using ingredient amounts listed for medium 
loaf, combine yeast, 1 cup whole wheat flour, cinnamon and salt in 
mixing bowl. Add warm tap water (120-130F), oil and molasses to flour 
mixture and mix low speed. Beat 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed. Add 
egg white; beat 1 minute. By hand, stir in walnuts, raisins, and 
enough remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 
5 to 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Use additional flour if necessary.

Stand Mixer Method: Using ingredient amounts listed for medium loaf, 
combine yeast, 1 cup whole wheat flour, cinnamon and salt in mixer 
bowl. Add warm tap water (120-130F) and oil to flour mixture and mix 
for 4 minutes on medium speed with paddle attachment. Add egg white; 
beat 1 minute. Gradually add walnuts, raisins, and remaining flour 
and knead with dough hook(s) 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Food Processor Method: Using ingredient amounts listed for medium 
loaf, combine yeast, 1 cup whole wheat flour, cinnamon and salt in 
processing bowl with steel blade. While motor is running, add water, 
oil, molasses and egg white. Process until mixed. Continue 
processing, adding remaining flour until dough forms a ball. Add 
walnuts and raisins; pulse just until mixed.

Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover; let 
rise until dough tests ripe. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; 
punch down to remove air bubbles. Shape into a round loaf. Place on 
greased cookie sheet. Cover; let rise in warm place until indentation 
remains after touching. With a very sharp knife, make 3 or 4 slashes, 
1/4" deep on top of loaf; cut crosswise, to make a crisscross design. 
Bake in preheated 375F oven 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pan; cool.

You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast for Active Dry Yeast. 
Traditional methods- replace 1:1. Expect your dough to rise faster; 
always let your dough rise until 'ripe'. Bread Machines- use 1/2 tsp 
Instant yeast (or 3/4 tsp Active Dry yeast) per cup of flour in your recipe.

Notes: Due to the low volume of this loaf, the medium recipe may be 
used in a small machine.
This recipe will also make 12 to 16 dinner rolls. After 1st rise, 
punch down dough and divide dough into 12-16 evenly-sized balls; 
shape into rolls. Place on parchment or silicone-lined baking sheet. 
Bake dinner rolls 12 to 15 minutes at 350F.
