Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 c all-purpose flour (see note)
3/4 c whole-wheat flour
3/4 c rye flour
3/4 c graham flour
3/4 c rolled oats
2 tb granulated sugar
1 tb baking powder
1 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
3 tb soft margarine or veg. oil
3/4 c raisins (optional)
1 3/4 c buttermilk
1 or 1 3/4 tb lemon juice
1 or 1 3/4 tb vinegar
1 plus milk to make 1 3/4 cup

Mix vinegar or lemon juice with milk for sour milk and set aside. If
using powdered skim milk, use almost 2/3 cup powder and enough water
to make 1 1/2 cup milk. Stir, then add lemon juice, then add enough
water to make the 1 3/4 cup measure.

If you do not have all the different kinds of flour, use what you do
have to make 3 1/4 cups, or try 1/4 cup wheat germ or bran plus 3 cups
all-purpose flour. Make a note of the ingredients and a note of the
result.

Sugar could possibly be left out, especially if 2 tbsp. or more of
raisins (or finely chopped dates) are used.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in margarine or oil. Stir in
raisins (if using) and add buttermilk or sour milk to make a soft
dough.

Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Place on a greased
baking sheet and flatten into a circle about 2 1/2 inches thick. Cut
large X about 1/4 inch deep on top. OR make 2 smaller loaves.

Bake at 350 F for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean.
