You're not stupid! We all have a level of work we're willing to put in to food prep. I grind my own grain by hand, but I totally use the bread machine.

Here are a couple:

Whole Wheat Quick Bread

2 c ww flour
1/2 c soy flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/4 c wheat germ
1/4 c dry milk powder
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c honey or molasses

Mix dry ingred. in bowl, then add milk and honey and stir but just until moist. Put in greased 5x9 loaf pan; let sit 20 min. Bake at 350 for 35 to 50 min or until the loaf is done - sounds hollow when tapped and is browned.

Multigrain bread:
1-2 t. yeast
3 c warm water (sub 1/4 c liquid with 1 beaten egg if you like)
1 T. - 1/2 c honey, sugar or molasses
3 c mixed grains such as rolled oats, bran, wheat germ, rye flous, bulgur, etc.
6 c ww flour
1/4 - 1/2 c oil
2 t. salt

Let the yeast dissolve in warm water and honey - when it is bubbly, add mixed grains plus 1 1/2 c flour. BEat well, set to rise for 1 hour in the bowl. Add opil, salt, and the rest of the flour and mix well. Knead 10 min. You can add oil while kneading to prevent the dough from drying out. Let rise until doubled; punch down; shape into 2 loaves and place in greased 4x8 loaf pans. Let rise until double. Bake 350 for 45- 50 min., until brown.

As I said, I use a machine, so I have never tried these recipes. But they come from my tried and true LLL cookbook so I hope they work for you!
