Italian Seven Grain Bread
Italian Seven Grain Bread is lovely. I’m always on the lookout for new homemade bread recipes–even when I have to create one myself. I love a good loaf of freshly baked bread. Making homemade bread in the breadmaker makes everything so quick and easy too.

I had a bag of seven grain cereal in my freezer that I had used on a loaf of bread before. I decided it was time to use up some more of it, but this time I wanted to add an Italian flavor to it, similar to my Rapid Rise Italian Herb Bread. So I decided to combine the two and the result was wonderful.
Last month I made a meal on the spur of the moment for one of our friends who was down with a bad back. I had to make the meal with ingredients I currently had on hand so that I wouldn’t have to go to the store. I ended up making a loaf of this tasty dinner bread with a chicken batch of Chicken or Tuna Tempter, a fresh green salad with homemade Healthy Apple Cider Salad Dressing, some Cracked Sugar Cookies for dessert, and some Chocolate Banana Bread Streusel Muffins for breakfast the following day.
I can always eat a slice of homemade bread — for breakfast, with soup or salad, or with any kind of dinner entree. I’ll take a slice of bread many times in place of dessert. 🙂 If you’re looking for a tasty bread to serve for your family dinners, give this lovely Italian Seven Grain Bread a try. You will find it a very warm and satisfying comfort food, indeed. Who knows? You may end up enjoying a piece of this tasty bread in place of dessert, too!

I use an electric knife to carve down the bread because it makes really clean cuts in the bread.
