1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unprocessed bran or wheat bran

In a bowl combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, unprocessed bran, dark brown sugar, oat bran, rolled oats, granola, malted barley flour and salt. In bread pan add water, molasses, and caramel coloring. Add flour mixture; top with yeast and select dark bread setting. Notes: Raisins could be added if desired. If you do, eliminate the caramel coloring and liquify the water, 1/4 cup raisins, molasses and brown sugar before adding to the machine. Oil and/or butter are not missing. They are not needed. Caramel coloring was only used to give the bread an almost pumpernickel color. The malted barley flour is also known as diastatic malt powder.
