This dark, earthy, whole-grain bread, studded with cranberries and 
walnuts, makes marvelous sandwiches and toast

PREP: 20 mins. to 30 mins.
BAKE: 35 mins. to 50 mins.
TOTAL: 4 hrs 40 mins. to 5 hrs 50 mins.
Yield: 2 large sandwich loaves.
Serving Size: 1 slice, (65g)

Whisk together the water, molasses, and egg in a large bowl.

Add the salt, instant yeast, butter, flax, wheat germ, Harvest Grains 
blend, and 9-Grain Flour Blend, stirring to combine.

Stir in the walnuts, cranberries, and sesame seeds.

Add the bread flour, and mix until cohesive.

Knead the dough for about 7 to 10 minutes (the longer amount of time 
by hand), to make a dough that feels fairly springy, but will also 
feel quite sticky.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and let 
the dough rise until it's noticeably expanded, about 2 hours.

Gently deflate the dough, and shape it into two 9" logs. Place the 
logs in two lightly greased 9" x 5" loaf pans.

Cover the pans, and let the dough rise until the center of each loaf 
has crested about 1" above the rim of the pan, 1 to 2 hours. Towards 
the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350F.

Bake the bread for 40 to 50 minutes, until the center of a loaf 
registers 200F on an instant-read thermometer. Tent the loaf lightly 
with aluminum foil after about 30 minutes, to prevent over-browning.

Remove the bread from the oven, and turn it out of the pans onto a 
rack to cool. If desired, brush melted butter on the crust for a 
satiny sheen and buttery flavor.
