Ingredients

2 3/4 cups whole wheat bread flour
2 cups best-quality oaty unsugared muesli (do not use granola)
2 1/2 teaspoons (1 package) rapid-rise or instant yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
1 cup 2% milk
1 cup water

Directions

1

Mix the flour, muesli, yeast, and salt in a bowl, then pour in the milk and water and stir to mix.
2

It will be a thick porridge.
3

Transfer to a greased or silicon 2 lb loaf pan; I like one thats deep and short rather than shallow.
4

Put this in a cold oven, turning it immediately on to 225F, and leave at this temperature for 45 minutes.
5

When these 45 minutes are up, turn the oven temperature up to 350F and leave for 1 hour, by which time the bread should be golden and cooked through.
6

Slip it out of its pan and although dense it is that kind of loaf it should feel slightly hollow when you knock it underneath.
7

You can always slip it back in the oven, out of its pan, for a few minutes if you think it needs more baking.
8

Remove to a rack and let cool.
