Home-made "Vogels Bread"!

I've previously said I didn't like the way Vogel's bread has deteriorated, despite their label claims of "original recipe".
I have found a few reasonable replacements (e.g. Fitness Loaf from Kilbirnie German Bakery)
but in the end I got the Breadmaker out, and made my own.
This is the recipe I have settled on:

My Machine-assisted Vogels Substitute

Kibble porridge in a pot:
Up to 200 ml of Kibbles in a pot, I use:
50-100 ml Kibbled Wheat
50 ml Kibble Rye
50-100 ml Buckwheat Groats
200 ml Water
Put kibbles into a pot with 200 ml water & bring to boil for 1 minute.
This makes a porridge, to add to the mix with the water & oil.

In a Breadmaker:
7 ml Granular Yeast (not sure-bake)
350 ml Wholemeal Four
150 ml White Flour
5 ml Sugar
10 ml Salt
30 ml Skim Milk Powder
30 ml Gluten Flour (optional)
* add kibbles “porridge” here
250 ml Water
20 ml Olive Oil

Place ingredients in order of recipe into the Breadmaker.

Set breadmaker to your equivalent of a wholemeal, dough.
(this should mean aprox. 2 hours duration for first knead, rise, & second knead.)

My breadmaker gives a "beep" at 15 minutes (after the first knead),
and I add a fistful of sunflower seeds.

When the breadmaker has finished (after second knead),
tip from breadmaker & work very lightly to place into an oiled bread tin.

Allow to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Bake at 200°C in a pre-heated oven for 40 minutes.

Tip from tin onto a rack & don't cut it till its cool!
