Categories:
Yield: 16 Servings
2 1/2 c Unsifted whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Wheat germ
2 tb Baking powder
1 tb Sugar
1 ts Salt
1/3 c Butter
1/3 c Vegetable shortening
1 1/2 c Milk
1 lg Egg
2 ts Butter; softened

Dried grains and natural

1. Heat oven to 375°. Lightly grease 8" square
baking pan.
2. In large bowl, with fork, combine flours, wheat
germ, baking powder, sugar and salt. With pastry
blender or 2 knives, cut in 1/3 cup butter and
shortening into flour mixture until coarse crumbs
form.
3. In small bowl, combine milk and egg. Add milk
mixture to dry ingredients and mix lightly with
fork just until mixture clings together and forms
a soft dough.
4. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
Knead gently 8 to 10 times, about 30 seconds.
Divide dough in half. Form each half into an 8X3-1/2
inch loaf. Place loaves side by side in
greased pan. With sharp knife, make 3 1/4" deep
diagonal slashes in top of each loaf.
5. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until tops are well
browned and sound hollow when tapped on top. Cool
5 minutes in pan on wire rack. Remove loaves from
pan; brush tops of loaves with softened butter.
Cool loaves on wire racks at least 20 minutes
before serving.
6. Tie flowers and grain with twine and place on
top for garnish, if desired. To serve, separate
loaves and cut crosswise into 8 slices.
