- 1/4 cup gluten

- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1/2 cup Bulgar wheat

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Place ingredients into the bread machine in the appropriate order. |
| 2. | Set the machine to “manual” to knead the dough thoroughly. |
| 3. | After the manual bread machine cycle, remove the machine hook from the dough, and transfer the dough into a greased loaf pan, gently punching it down. |
| 4. | Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour. |
| 5. | While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). |
| 6. | Keeping the dough in the same pan in which it rose, brush the surface with a beaten egg and sprinkle with extra flax seed, oats, and/or wheat germ for added texture and flavor (optional). Allow the dough to rise again for about 10 minutes. |
| 7. | Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it is nicely browned and sounds hollow when tapped. |
| 8. | Remove the pan from the oven, and carefully turn the bread out of the pan to cool on a wire rack. |
| 9. | Serve your freshly baked Multi-Grain Honey Wheat Bread with herb butter if desired. (Check out some herb butter recipes: #27286, #27297, and #27739.) |
