5 - 5 1/2 c. flour
2 pkgs. yeast
1 c. oat bran
1/2 c. wheat germ
2 tsp. salt
2 c. water
1/4 c. molasses
1/4 c. raisins
1/4 c. pecans
2 tbsp. oil

Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, oat bran, wheat germ and salt. Mix well. In a pan, heat water, oil and molasses until very warm (120 to 130 degrees). Add this to the flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened. Then beat for a full 3 minutes at medium speed. Stir in the raisins and pecans. Gradually stir in enough flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch down and divide into 2 parts. Shape into 7"x14" rectangle. Starting with the short side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll at each turn. Pinch to seal. Place in bread pans, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
