Bake Your Own Bread - Its Easy! Honey, Oat, Flax, Wheat Bread

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 cup warm water
3 1/2 cups warm water
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
7 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
4 teaspoons salt
2 tbs of cinnamon
4 cups bread flour (you may not need entire 4 cups)

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. In a large bowl, mix remaining 3 1/2 cups warm water, honey, molasses, oil, eggs and lemon juice. Mix well. Add yeast mixture and stir.
Gradually add 5 cups whole wheat flour beating well after each addition. Add the flax, oats and sunflower seeds, stir well.
Let stand for 20 minutes, until mixture is very light. Stir in salt and the rest of the flours until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead 10 to 15 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. Put into a greased bowl and cover, let rise in the oven with light on until doubled, about 1 hour. (this will be your workout for the day).
Punch down and shape into 6 round balls. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
Form into loaves and let rise covered in oven until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) 25-35 minutes. 

Tips

• My boyfriend's mother makes fresh bread all of the time and her tip is to slice the bread and freeze it, so all you have to do is go into your freezer and toast some up.
• Serve hot out of the oven with butter and honey !
