Fill large bowl with warm water. You want it to be hot to the touch, but not burning. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let set for a few minutes so the yeast can start working. I use this time to get out my other ingredients and by then, it should be good to go.

Add coconut oil, honey, molasses and salt to the water/yeast mixture. Give it a quick, gentle stir with a fork to break up the coconut oil (it usually comes as a solid).

Add in the oats, sunflower seeds, flax seed, quinoa and wheat gluten. Give it another gentle stir to combine.

Add in 2 cups of the white flour and 2 cups of the wheat flour. *SET ASIDE THE REMAINING CUP OF WHEAT FLOUR. (You may or may not need it depending on the humidity in your area. Some days I only need a quarter cup extra, some days I need the entire cup of flour.) Stir in the flour with a fork and then begin working the dough with your hands. If the dough remains sticky after youve kneaded it several times, start sprinkling a little bit of your reserved cup of flour in the bowl. Work the additional flour in with your hands. I can tell it is done when it has a more play-doh like texture - pliable, but not too sticky. You definitely do not want it goopy, but you dont want it too dry either.

When the texture of the dough is ready, form the dough into a ball. Drizzle a little olive oil in the bottom of the bowl for the dough to rest on and drizzle a little on top of the dough. Smear around with your fingers so the entire dough ball is lightly coated.

Cover the dough and let it rise until it has approximately doubled in size.

Punch down dough and knead it out for 2 to 3 minutes. Youre trying to work all of the air bubbles out of the dough. (You can experiment with kneading it for shorter or longer periods of time. Im still figuring this part out.)

Recover the dough and let it rise again until the dough is approximately doubled in size.

Punch the dough out and again knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Select half of the dough and form it into a loaf-like shape. Place it into a greased bread pan (cooking spray works too). Do the same with the other half of the dough. Drizzle a little olive oil and honey on top of the loaf. (I rub it around gently with my fingers to lightly coat the entire top of the loaf.) Cover both bread pans and let the dough rise until it peeks over the top of the pan. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425 degrees .

When the dough is done rising, place it in the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 425 degrees. Check at the 15 minute mark and cover lightly with foil if need be so the bread doesnt get too dark on top. When finished baking, remove bread from pan promptly and let cool on a baking rack.

Pat yourself on the back for being so freaking awesome. You just made fresh, homemade bread! How many of your friends can do that?

TIPS:

1) I let my bread rise in the microwave. It is the only place in my house that isnt too drafty or too cool. I also usually place a hot pack (you know those ones that you can heat up in the microwave to keep casseroles warm during transport) under it. This step is totally not necessary, just something you can try if your bread isnt rising.
