This has become our household bread. I love it and so do the kids! I sub an add'l cup of wheat flour for the white and add 2 tsp of wheat gluten. I also bake it in the oven. After the 1st rise in the bread machine on the wheat cycle I take it out and divide into two loaves. I let it rise for another 30 to 40 minutes and then bake at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. I'm making another loaf as I write this!

This is the best bread machine recipe I've found yet!!

I needed three loaves of bread so I tripled this recipe and made it by hand instead of w/ the machine. I did alter just a couple of things. I cut the white flour down to 2 c. and added 1/2c. of rye flour and I used flax seed oil instead of the veg. oil. Otherwise, when I did knead it, it seemed to need more white flour than was called for in the recipe but then I was making it by hand. My Aunt who taught me how to make bread always said to stick two fingers into the dough and if they don't come out "sticky" you're done kneading. The loaves turned out wonderful with great texture and flavor and they rose beautifully! I think I've found a new, favorite recipe.

I really wanted to make this bread, especially since it was recommended to me by another Allrecipes user! I left out the egg like another reviewer suggested, but only because I had already started making the bread before I realized that I needed one, and I was out. (Mental note to self: read the complete recipe before making!) Anyway, I also used 10 grain cereal and a little milk (because of the no egg thing). I brushed it with melted butter before baking. And after it was finished, I let it cool for a few minutes, then put it in a plastic food storage bag to keep the crust soft. This is a wonderful bread! I can't wait to make it again! (With the egg, of course.) And, I will surely make it again and again! It is much better than store bought!

The taste was good, but the texture turned out very coarse and dry. Like others, mine also fell, which was probably the reason for the coarse texture. When I adjusted the ingredients for high altitude (we live at 7000 ft.), I forgot to adjust the water; that was more than likely the problem. I might make it again or perhaps try the other Seven Grain recipe.

this is a very nice bread soft and good flavor. and the 7 grains is so nice I've made it so much we prefer it over any store brand... thank you for sharing we just love it....

This is a staple in our household. After much experimentation and sunken loaves, my husband dropped the egg and increased the liquid a tiny bit, and it's nearly perfect.

My family really enjoyed this bread. It is good warm, cool, and toasted. I used olive oil as one reviewer suggested. The bread did sink in in the middle as it baked, but not enough to bother me. I will definitely make it again.

I'd give it a 10. I used 3/4 cup oats instead of 7-grain cereal and 1 tbsp of salt instead of 2 tsps because I misread the recipe. I set my Breadman machine on "whole wheat rapid", "medium crust" and "1.5 lb" loaf. It came out PERFECTLY. Perfect sandwich bread. Next time I'll experiment throwing some fruit and seeds into it too. I didn't have the "denting" problem some other commentators had.

This will definitely be a regular on our table. I made the dough in my bread maker then made 18 dinner rolls from the dough. After letting them rise in a muffin pan, they baked perfectly at 350 for 25 minutes. Thanks for the great recipe!

Wonderful bread. I used Kashi 7 grain and brown sugar splenda as a substitute for the honey, and all whole wheat flour, no bread flour. Baked at 375* for 30 min. covered with foil an additional 10 min, for a total of 40 min. I also buttered the crust after baking to keep it soft...wonderful recipe...thank you for a healthy bread I am happy to give my family.

Yummo! SO good! I too have a 1 1/2 lb machine so I did a little math and figured out the correct amt of ingredients for this recipe. A lot of stuff is in mL, sorry, I also put the egg in the cup before measuring out my water (if I don't do this the bread over rises). 235mL water (including egg); 2 tsp yeast; 2 tbsp dry milk (94mL wet); 4 tsp oil; 4 tsp honey; 1 1/4 tsp salt; 2 1/2 cups flour (I use all whole wheat); 1/2 cup cereal. Makes 1 very delicious 1 1/2 pound loaf. Oh if putting in the bread maker overnight reduce the amount of yeast or it will overrise significantly lol, I found out the hard way.

This is the best bread recipe I've tried. I used my bread machine to make the dough and then baked in it in my oven at 375 for 40 minutes. I replaced the honey with molasses and substituted 1 extra cup of whole wheat flour for the bread flour. I also used nine-grain cereal. Turned out absolutely perfect and was a huge hit in the household! I did cut off the crust because it was too hard. Thanks so much for this recipe.

My first attempt at this recipe left me with a sunken top bread so I tried again and used less water--about 1 C and 2 Tbs. I had to add just a little flour so next time I'll try 1 C. 1 Tbs, but the flavor was excellent and made the house smell wonderful. I used the Kashi 7 grain medley pilaf (the whole grain). Excellent crunchy bread.

I love this recipe! What's more, so did my family! I generally make 100 % whole wheat bread but I didn't have enough flour for my recipe. So, I made this recipe and it was AWESOME! The texture of it was a great medium weight bread. I have a 2lb. machine and it rose just fine. I made a few adjustments. I love to use olive oil instead of veggie oil. I added about 1 1/2 - 2 T more honey than it called for. I also used 1 c. of whole wheat pastry flour and only 1 1/2 c. of bread flour. I chose Bob's Red Mill 10 grain cereal blend and it came out fabulous. I don't know about the other reviews and the complications they experienced. I had no trouble! Thanks for the yummy recipe! Will make again and again! :)

The texture of this was great, but it really doesn't have alot of flavour. I don't have a bread machine, so I just made it by hand, and formed it into 2 loafs. It's ok if there is butter, or jam on it, but in all honesty, I am a little dissapointed with it. I had expected more. Sorry :(

I've been looking for a 7 grain bread recipe. I'm not sure about this one. I made this recipe exactly as written and the top "sunk" in and the texture was spongy. Too much water or too much yeast?
