I went with Harvest Grains Blend. It looks like what I feed my finches; oat berries, wheat & rye flakes, sunflower, poppy, sesame & flax seed & millet

n002

This is the recipe that came on the package; Harvest Grains Bread.

n003

If the harvest grains weren't enough the recipe adds corn meal.

n004

It's pretty active stuff. About an hour each of fermenting and proofing.

n005

GIven all the "stuff" in the dough, the rise was suprising.

n006

Even more spring in the oven.

n007

The recipe adds the grains "raw", no soaking.

n009

Peter Reinhart has a similar bread, but the grains get soaked. I might soak them next time 'cuz it's pretty crunchy as is.

n010

Tasty though, and suprisingly light.
