INGREDIENTS

1 3/4 c wheat flour
1 c scalded almond mylk
1 T olive oil
2 T agave nectar
1 1/4 t active dry yeast
1/4 c millet seeds
1-2 T poppy seeds
up to 1 t salt

Instructions are fairly easy. While scalding your mylk. In a bigger bowl, mix the oil, agave and salt. Once mylk is scalded, pour into the bowl. Mix. Let sit until warm, not hot.

Once warm, add yeast. Mix. Let sit until dissolved.

Now, slowly add wheat flour and all seeds. Knead about 10 minutes. Put flour into bowl. Add your dough. Voila.

REMEMBER: this dough is very, very, very sticky. So you'll want to throw whole wheat flour on it and on your hands each time you knead the dough. It also gives it this pretty finished look.

Follow instructions of your new automatic, fun gadget: press "bread" function. Press "start". After 40 minutes you'll hear a beep. Press down dough and turn it over.

After another 40 minutes you'll hear another beep.

Flip dough. It'll have 10 more minutes to cook.

That's it! Now enjoy the smells, tastes and health of your healthy, homemade bread.

OPTIONAL:

Add 2 T - 1/4 c sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or even 1/2 c dried fruit!
