Multi-Grain Yogurt Bread!

 We are a bread loving family
and I usually get stuck in a rut making the same few bread recipes
for the majority of the time and so it is usually only 2 or 3 times a year
that I remember about this yummy recipe. 

Since I have been making my own yogurt, I decided to try using my homemade yogurt to make one of our family favorite bread recipes.
  
It was PERFECT, absolutely delicious

and we downed an entire loaf of bread in one meal!
OOPS!

 The next day we finished off the other loaf by making Tuna sandwiches.
This bread is PERFECT sandwich bread! 

 What I love about this recipe is the different grains and it is a perfect bread recipe that  
anyone can make
as Wheat Bran and Wheat Germ  both keep in the freezer and so if you don't have a wheat grinder and don't want to purchase wheat flour, this is  
SO yummy and easy to make with basic food storage ingredients.

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt (I used my homemade yogurt)
