Add just enough liquids to make a moist dough...if you need to cut back a bit on the flour, then do that. If it worked to cut out some oats and flax, I would go with what works for you. As to adding molasses, simply substitute it for part of the honey. Say 1/3 cup molasses and 2/3 cup honey, or similar.

I did a web search on it and came up with a page from the Weston Price Foundation http://www.westonaprice.org/Soy-Lecithin-From-Sludge-to-Profit.html Thanks for the bread recipe, though. For some reason converting recipes to incorporate soaking is intimidating for me. Just curious if you had researched soy lecithin at all.

Oh yea I also add the coconut oil and honey. I prefer the flavor of why and since I have a lot from my cheese making I use that. So my question is do you add more liquids some times? I have just tried today adding 1 extra cup water! I made it the first time with one cup of oats and no flax and it came out beautiful but when I added the other cup oats and flax it was heavy and didn't rise as it had last time! So would you add more water? Also I want to add some molasses for the vitamin content. Would I have to change anything if I did?

I have had several readers divide my recipe into fourths and doing it in the bread machine with great success. You can look through the comments here.

It is so delicious! I've struggled with making good 100% whole grain bread for a while and this one is great! I just made this recipe today (well, I started soaking last night…). It is so delicious!

It's daunting enough when you follow a recipe exactly, but when you start by breaking the rules... . Whew. I think someone among your readers must have done this. With a family it would be easy to have leftover porridge, and why waste it? I’ll try. It’s daunting enough when you follow a recipe exactly, but when you start by breaking the rules… . Whew.

It was the first time i have soaked the wheat. I used my usual recipe because that is what has worked in my bread machine for a while now. I added my usual quantity of water and the resulting consistancy was a ball a dough.....is that ok? Is that right amount for soaking? Loaf was fine, consistancy was not quite a good as usual, but tasted stronger and a little better. It took me ages to tweek the ingredients of my bread for the bread machine, do you have a recipe for the break machines. (i guess i should search around some more...!)

Maybe half the required amount? I would probably recommend just using less…since it is already cooked. Maybe half the required amount?
