Brown Harvest Bread

1 T. yeast
5 c. warm water
3/4 c. molasses
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. olive oil
9-10c. whole wheat flour
1 (16oz.) pkg. 10 grain mix
2 c. oats
1/2 c. roasted pine nuts
1/2 c. roasted almonds
1/2 c. cashews
1/2 c. macadamia nuts
1/2 T. salt
1egg
2 T. water

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the water. Let it stand 5 min., or until the yeast is foamy. Add the molasses, brown sugar, and olive oil. In another large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 10 grain mix, oats, all the nuts and salt. Slowly add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix well. Turn dough onto lightly wheat-floured counter top or bread board. Knead the dough for 4 to 7 min. Keep the dough moist for a soft tender bread. Separate the dough into two portions. Generously grease 1 to 2 baking sheets, depending on their sizes. With your hands form the sections of dough into two round loaves on the baking sheet. Place the sheets in a warm dry place and let the dough rise for 60min. Preheat the oven to 375. Beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the loaves for 45 to 55 min. Tap the bottom of one of the loaves. If it sounds hollow, it's done. If not, continue to bake, checking every few minutes. Let the loaves cool for 45min. before slicing.
