Lumberjack Bread Mix
This is a multi-grain bread but it's soft and moist, unlike anything else.
"This may be the best multi-everything bread in America!"
I took a loaf of Lumberjack bread home with me tonight. It was still warm, so I cut a slice. The butter melted quickly, and I spread some berry jam on it. That's when I muttered, "Best multi-everything bread in America."
It isn't an everything bread, but it seems like it. It's made with a six-grain mix. the grains are rolled like oatmeal so that in the making, they meld into the loaf. For a lumberjack bread, it's remarkably gentle.
I read the reviews. It's a five-star bread—one four-star out of 59 reviews. Several reviewers used the word "soft." It is soft--and moist, and light.
"The Lumberjack mix was a pleasant surprise - great flavor. I ordered more right away!"
Your Questions
- What does it taste like? Well, it's a whole wheat bread, so it has the nutty taste of whole grains, but it's not all wheat. It's just a really good bread. It's so soft and moist that even the kids like it.
- How do you like it? That's cheating. I developed it. It's certainly an all-time, top-ten bread for me. I love it!
- The kids like sweet bread. Anything sweet? It's made with honey, and it has milk, so it has lactose and fructose. It's just sweet enough to be very pleasant.
- Is it a breakfast bread or a sandwich bread? Well, it makes incredible toast, but I would have to say, a sandwich bread.
- What about the users? More of them mentioned sandwiches than toast.
- No sugar added? No sugar added. The anti-caking agent in the honey has some sucrose in it, but barely.
- So it's healthy? Lots of whole grains, honey, and dairy.
- Ah, but does it taste good? Several of the reviewers said it was their best bread. It wouldn't be five-star if it didn't taste good.
- How tall is it? With the right water temperature, it's six or seven inches tall in your bread machine.
- What if I don't have a bread machine? It's easy to make in your oven.
- It says "no preservatives." How long will it last? It doesn't have three weeks of preservatives like in the stores. We recommend not more than five days on the counter. If you're not going to use it all, slice it and put it in the freezer. Thaw it in the toaster.

This is an exceptionally moist, multigrain bread made with milk and honey, rolled oats, and other whole grains with a scattering of sunflower seeds. It's a "kitchen sink" bread where everything turned out just right.
Often, whole-grain breads are a bit harsh. Not this one. We toned it down with the oats and added just enough bread flour from Montana. We also added plenty of dairy.
Good milk nearly always makes bread better. It mellows the bread, and the lactose in the milk sweetens it.
Try this bread! You'll be glad you did.
