Combine yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, sugar, and oil in a bowl.

Let the mixture sit in a warm place for 5-10 minutes, or until it begins to bubble.

In a separate large bowl, mix white flour and 1 cup scalded milk (or water).

Add the yeast mixture to the flour and milk mixture and combine.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.

In another bowl, combine remaining flour (whole barley, millet, bran flour, soy flour, rye flour, oats, wheat flour, wheat germ), salt, baking powder, soda, raisins, and nuts.

Add the remaining scalded milk (or water) and the flour mixture to the risen yeast dough.

Mix well to combine all ingredients.

Let the dough rise again for about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease bread pans.

Divide the dough evenly between the prepared bread pans.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
