    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1                cup  boiling water
    1                cup  Harvest Grains Blend
    2               cups  sourdough starter -- fed and ready to use
    1 3/4           cups  white whole wheat flour -- King Arthur
    1 3/4           cups  All-Purpose Flour -- King Arthur Unbleached 
or Artisan Bread Flour
    2 1/2      teaspoons  salt
    1 1/2      teaspoons  instant yeast
    2        tablespoons  vegetable oil
                          Topping:
    1         tablespoon  sesame seeds -- Artisan Bread Topping, or 
your favorite blend of seeds

1) In a large mixing bowl, or the bucket of a bread machine, combine 
the Harvest Grains Blend and boiling water. Let cool to lukewarm

2) Add the fed sourdough starter and the remaining dough ingredients, 
and mix and knead - by hand, mixer, bread machine or food processor - 
until you've made a soft dough, adding additional water or flour as needed.

3) Cover the dough in the bowl, and let it rise until it's almost 
doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

4) Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased work surface, and gently 
fold it over a few times to deflate it. Shape it into a large round.

5) Cover the round with lightly greased plastic wrap. Or place in a 
round covered baker that's been sprayed with non-stick baking spray 
and sprinkled with sesame seeds or cornmeal, and put on the cover. 
Let the loaf rise until it's very puffy, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 425F.

6) Just before baking, brush with water, and sprinkle with seeds. Use 
a lame or a very sharp knife to make four slashes across the top of 
the loaf, in a crosshatch pattern.

7) Bake the bread for 40 minutes. Uncover the loaf if in a covered 
baker, and continue to bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the loaf is 
golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center 
registers 190F. (A loaf baked on a baking sheet will need to bake for 
38 to 45 minutes total.

8) Remove the bread from the oven, let sit in the baker for 5 
minutes, then turn out and cool on a rack.

Makes 1 large round loaf
