4. Then add salt and everything else.
5. Then add flour, I add a cup at a time until it pulls away from the side of the bowl.
7. Knead for 4-6 minutes. This dough is really sticky and you are going to think that you need to add more flour, but you only want to add enough flour that the dough barley pulls away from the bowl.
8. Let dough rise for 15 minutes.
9. Butter the bread pans (I do 2 9x5 pans and 1 8 1/2x 4 2/12 inch pan) and your hands. Punch down the dough well.
10. Form into loafs and put into greased loaf pans.
11. Let rise in pans for 30 minutes.
12. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
14. Remove from pans after 10 minutes and let cool on a cooling rack.

Christina's Oatmeal Wheat Bread
from Epicurious
This bread is sturdy enough to work for sandwiches. Yay!
2 cups milk
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats plus additional for topping (optional)
1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F)
7 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup mild honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus additional for buttering pans
3 cups stone-ground whole-wheat flour
About 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 TBSP flax seed meal
2 TBSP wheat germ
2 TBSP vital wheat gluten
1 tablespoon salt
Olive oil or butter for oiling bowl
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon water (optional)
Heat milk in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan over low heat until hot but not boiling, then remove pan from heat and stir in oats. Let stand, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooled to warm.
Stir together water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon honey in a bowl; let stand until foamy, 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.) Stir yeast mixture, melted butter, and remaining honey into cooled oatmeal.
Stir together whole-wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, flax seed meal, wheat germ, gluten and salt in standing-mixer bowl. Add oat mixture and knead with dough hook, adding just enough of remaining unbleached flour to keep from sticking (up to 1/4 cup), until dough is smooth, soft, and elastic, about 10 minutes (dough will be slightly sticky). Form dough into a ball and transfer to an oiled or buttered large bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel; let rise at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Lightly butter loaf pans. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times to remove air. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a loaf, then place 1 loaf in each buttered pan, seam side down, tucking ends gently to fit. Cover loaf pans loosely with a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly brush tops of loaves with some of egg wash and sprinkle with oats, then bake until bread is golden and loaves sound hollow when tapped on bottom, 35 to 40 minutes. (Remove 1 loaf from pan to test for doneness. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen.)
Remove bread from pans and transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.

Christina's Whole Wheat Raspberry Ricotta Scones
from Smitten Kitchen
If you have white whole wheat, you can use two cups of it instead of the split flour ratio here.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
3/4 cup whole milk ricotta
1/3 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In the bottom of a large, wide-ish bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
Add the butter and use the blender to both cut the butter into the flour mixture until the biggest pieces are the size of small peas. Toss in raspberries and use the blender again to break them into halves and quarter berry sized chunks.
Add the ricotta and heavy cream together and stir them in to form a dough with a flexible spatula.Using your hands, gently knead dough into an even mass, right in the bottom of the bowl.\
With as few movements as possible, transfer the dough to a well-floured counter, flour the top of the dough and pat it into a 7-inch square about 1-inch tall. With a large knife, divide the dough into 9 even squares. Transfer the scones to prepared baking sheet with a spatula. Bake the scones for about 15 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges. Cool in pan for a minute, then transfer to a cooling rack. It’s best to cool them about halfway before eating them, so they can set a bit more.
