Grainy Bread For A Bread Machine

1 cup vital wheat gluten
2 cups whey protein powder, unflavored
1 cup wheat bran
1/2 cup pecan meal
1 teaspoon salt
1 package dry yeast
1 egg
2 tablespoons Splenda
1 3/4 cups warm water (warm to your wrist, NOT hot)

*Optional: one half cup sunflower seeds, or flax seeds

I dumped it all in the bread machine. It came out a dark, chewy, dense bread. It does not rise as much as the pure gluten bread recipe. It reminds me of a seven grain bread we used to buy.
*Note* This type of bread contains no artificial preservatives, and should be refrigerated for longer "shelf" life.
You can make this recipe without a bread machine, but the more gluten in the recipe, the harder the dough is to knead. It starts to fight back.
Variations: You might like a teaspoon of vanilla flavoring, or banana flavoring, and maybe even a little cinnamon or allspice, and a bit more Splenda for a sweeter bread.
