But, I've been asked for this recipe many times lately so I thought it would be nice to put SOMETHING up on my blog. This is a no-fail bread recipe from the bread queen herself: my sister-in-law, Cheryl. Enjoy!
Cheryl’s Bread
2 cups water
1/2 stick butter
2 1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. oatmeal
1/4 c. 9-grain cereal (or wheat germ, or oatmeal)
1/8 c. vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 c. white flour (plus extra for kneading)
3 c. whole wheat flour
1 TBSP yeast
1 or 2 eggs
Microwave water and butter on high for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, mix salt, sugar, oatmeal, cereal, flour and yeast. Add egg(s) and water/butter and mix (I use a Kitchenaid) for 1 minute, until combined. Put bread hook on mixer and mix (knead) for 10 minutes, adding flour (about 3/4 cup) until it doesn’t stick to the bowl any longer. After 10 minutes of kneading, cover and let rise 1 hour. Divide dough in 2 loaves, roll under, and put in prepared loaf pans. Raise, lightly covered, for 30-60 minutes, until double in size. Bake at 350˚ for 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack (but cut a slice for yourself while it's hot....you deserve it!)

That looks so yummy. Do you let the dough rise in the same bowl that you mixed it in? How many loaves does it make? Yum.
Sounds good! I love fresh home made bread, thanks!
Great recipe. I'll be sure to make some. I love homemade bread..and I totally agree with having some right out of the oven. That's the best!
Yum! Fresh bread is the best. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks for posting this--I'm no good at bread but I've been wanting to bake some. Fingers crossed!
I vouch for this recipe. It makes two loaves and is really yummy but is is NOT fail proof if you get the water too hot and kill the yeast! don't do it!
