MULTI-GRAIN SANDWICH BREAD BM

The flour used in this recipe is specifically designed for bread machines, processors and mixers. It is not recommended to make this by hand unless you plan to knead the dough very vigorously for a long period of time. The texture is wonderful for toast and sandwiches. Don't cut down on the salt. I tried that twice and the bread failed to rise when baking. I have listed ingredients for either a 1 or 1-1/2 pound loaf. I prefer the texture of the smaller loaf, and it makes an average-sized sandwich.
