This Harvest Grain Sandwich Loaf uses King Arthur's Harvest Grains Blend which I love to add to my whole wheat bread recipes. It stays soft and makes perfect breakfast toast or sandwich bread.

Instructions
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and having them close at hand on the counter or table.
In a large mixing bowl with dough hook, add water, cottage cheese, honey, vegetable oil, kosher salt, egg, and 2 cups all-purpose flour. Mix together until smooth.
In a small bowl, combine whole wheat flour, Harvest Grains Blend, wheat germ, cornmeal, and yeast. Gradually add to wet mixture to make a soft dough.
Continue kneading with dough hook or turn out onto a floured surface to knead by hand. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 60-90 minutes.
When dough has doubled, gently punch down dough. Let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into loaf, by rolling or patting it into a rectangle large enough to fit the pan. Then starting with one long edge, roll up, cinnamon roll style. Pinch edges to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down in a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise until double, between 40-60 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat egg white and water to make egg wash. Brush the egg mixture over the top of the dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.
