Oatmeal-Millet Bread

I hope mom doesn't mind if I post these millet recipes. I just don't want to lose them and I really want to try them! 
 

 1 tbs yeast (or 1 pkg)
 2 cups thick rolled oats
 1/3 cup millet
 8 cups stone-ground WW flour
 1/4 cup blackstrap molasses
 1/2 cup dark honey
 boiling water
 sea salt
 
 In one bowl, combine oats, 2 cups boiling water, sea salt, and
 sweeteners.  Mix and set aside until it cools to just over room
 temperature (should be kinda brown and pasty).  In a pan, combine
 millet and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover
 and let it return to just above room temperature.
 
 Proof yeast.  Add grains.   Add enough of the flour so that the
 dough leaves the bowl.  Transfer to dry flat surface.  Encorporate
 the rest of the flour in by hand.  Let dough sit for 5 minutes. 
 Knead.  Transfer to a bowl and let rise until doubled.  Punch it
 down, shape it into loaves and let it rise again.  Bake at 375-400
 for about 40-50 minutes.
