4 cups rolled oats ¼ cup brown sugar ½ cup raw peanuts, coarsely chopped ¼ cup raw sunflower seeds ¼ cup raw sesame seeds ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds ¼ cup ground flax seeds ¼ cup chia seeds 6 Tbsp raisins 6 Tbsp dried cranberries ½ cup dried coconut, flaked or shredded 1 tsp salt 2 Tbsp honey 6 Tbsp coconut oil 2 egg whites

Preheat oven to 275° F and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.

In a medium bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, beat together the honey, coconut oil, and egg white. Thoroughly stir this into the dry ingredients. Spread granola onto the baking sheet and cook for 45 minutes. (If making a half batch, cook for 30 minutes.)

Transfer the granola on the parchment, onto a cooling rack. Let cool before putting in a container.

Basic proportions: 4 cups grains 6 Tbsp sweetener 2 ¼ cup nuts and seeds 1 ¼ cup dried fruit

2 cups water 2 tsp yeast 2 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp butter 3 cups flour 1 cup barley flour 1 ½ tsp salt 1/3 cup ground flax seed

In a small bowl, stir the honey and yeast into ¾ cup of warm water. In another small bowl, combine the butter with hot water to melt it.

In a large bowl, stir together the flours, salt, and flax seed. When the yeast is foamy and the butter is at least mostly melted, stir the water mixtures into the flour mixture.

Stir enough to form a loose dough, then knead it on a floured surface, using as much flour as necessary to make it smooth and not sticky.

Coat the bowl and dough with oil, cover loosely with plastic, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

Grease a bread pan. Knead the risen dough gently on a lightly floured surface. Form it into a log and place inside the bread pan. Spread a thin layer of butter onto the top. Cover loosely with plastic and let rise for 30 minutes.

Spray the inside of the oven with water. Place the bread inside the oven and set it to 350° F. Bake for 40-45 minutes, including preheating time.

2 tsp yeast 2 tsp sugar 2 cups warm water 4 cups whole wheat flour 1 Tbsp salt 1/3 cup ground flax seed

Dissolve the yeast and sugar into ¾ cup of warm water.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and flax seed. When the yeast is foamy, add that to the flour, as well as the rest of the water. Stir it together, then turn out onto the counter to knead it. Use flour if necessary. Knead it thoroughly, until the dough stretches rather than tears when it is pulled.

Coat the inside of the bowl and the dough with oil. Put the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.

Knead the dough a bit, and shape into a log. Oil the inside of the bread pan and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.

Spray the inside of the cold oven with water and place the bread pan in the center of the oven. Turn the oven to 350° F. Bake for 40-45 minutes (including pre-heating time), until the crust is a deep golden brown on top, and golden brown on the sides and bottom.
