Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shredded wheat cereal
• 1/2 cup cornflakes cereal, crushed
• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/4 cup flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
2. In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, shredded wheat cereal, cornflakes cereal, oats, flaxseeds, and salt.
3. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
7. Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
11. Serve the shredded cereal bread toasted with butter or your favorite jam.
