Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread coming out of the oven. This hearty muesli bread is begging to be slathered with some butter and enjoyed warm!

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup warm water
1 package fast acting yeast, 2 1/4 teaspoons
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat white flour + a little more while mixing if needed
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill old country style muesli

Instructions

Combine the milk, water, yeast and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir gently and let yeast proof, about 10 minutes.
Add flours and salt to the mixer bowl and mix with dough hook on low-medium speed.
Dough will be sticky, use additional flour if needed to pull it together just enough so that you can transfer it to a greased bowl.
Cover dough in greased bowl, set aside in a warm place and let rise for 1-2 hours until at least doubled in size.
Remove dough out onto a floured surface, knead the muesli into the dough until well incorporated throughout. Reshape into a loaf and place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Cover, set aside and let rest for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Score the top of the dough with a knife and place into the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on the outside.
Remove from oven, transfer to a cooling rack and let rest for a bit before slicing.
Best served warm with butter.
