Multi-Grain Bread

I found this recipe on a forum, and will be making it by hand. I'll experiment with the method and type it out when I am satisfied with the result.

Multi-Grain Bread

1/4 c steel cut oats
3 T medium grind cornmeal
2 T blackstrap molasses
3 T local honey
2 tsp salt
3 T unsalted butter
1 1/2 c boiling water
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 c unbleached white flour
1 c amaranth flour
1/4 c wheat germ
1/2 c brown rice flour
2 T powdered buttermilk
2 T flaxseed meal
1 T poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
2 T cider vinegar (any type of vinegar will work)

Place oats, cornmeal, molasses, honey, salt and butter in the pan of your bread machine. Pour boiling water over the mixture, stirring to prevent lumps. Let rest for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, blend listed dry ingredients, omitting yeast. Add vinegar to liquid in the bread machine pan and stir. Top with flour mixture. Make a small well in the center and add yeast. Place pan in your bread machine and bake on machine’s whole-wheat setting (DO NOT use rapid whole-wheat, or unsatisfactory rise will result!). Remove promptly from pan when completed.
