Seven Grain Bread is a delectable whole grain bread that's great for a dinner bread or for breakfast! This delicious whole grain cereal bread is so easy since it's made in the breadmaker. It has a nice and fluffy texture rather than being heavy or dense due to the use of vital wheat gluten. Wonderful served with jams and preserves.

Notes
NOTE: Homemade bread has no preservatives and must be refrigerated after 2 days.NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
