1 1/2 c lukewarm water
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp honey or white sugar
5 Tbsp rye flour
4 Tbsp graham flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp active dry yeast
2 Tbsp instant mashed potato flakes
3 Tbsp quaker old fashioned oats (not instant)
bread flour

Steps:

1. Add the wet ingredients to your bread machine (water, oil, honey). Next add the salt, potato flakes and oats.
2. Into a measuring cup, put the rye flour and graham flour. Add enough regular bread flour to make 3 1/2 cups. Pour this into the bread machine on top of the wet ingredients.
3. Make a "well" in the flour mixture and add the yeast. Use the "whole wheat" cycle on your machine, 2 pound loaf, dark crust. Turn the machine on and you will have a delicious loaf in a little over 3 hours. NOTE: WATCH THE CONSISTENCY of the mixture as it mixes. If it seems too dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms a "ball" around the paddle. If it is too wet, add one tablespoon of flour at a time.
