Notes: When I met Dave's mother, this is all they ever ate for bread. This is what he grew up on. I was fortunate to be able to enjoy it also. She didn't stop making bread until her hands got so arthritic. She made bread every week. All by hand. She used a huge plastic bowl, an aluminum bowl would work to mix everything in. Sometimes she would make 5 loaves and use the rest for rolls. When making the rolls they did not touch sides on the cookie sheet. Wonderful rolls.
Depending on the brand of cereal, she sometimes would add sunflower seeds if they weren't in the mix.
I have made a reduced recipe for the bread machine. It is also in this book.
