Flavorful and slightly chewy, this lovely loaf is the best thing to come out of her bread machine, attests Lise Thomson of Magrath, Alberta. "We like to start our day with a nice warm slice full of good-for-you-grains."

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Red Mill brand five-grain cereal. You may substitute Oatmeal Crisp Raisin Cereal. Remove raisins and crush enough cereal to measure 3/4 cup.
