Ever since I bought this hot cereal

I have been wanting to make some bread with it. Well I was down to the last packet so it looks like today is the day. I am hoping fora slighly sweet white bread with some whole grains in it.
Tentative recipe:
1 packet cereal cooked per directions and cooled (happening currently)
approx 3 cups of AP flour
3 tsp vital wheat gluten
enough water to make it nice. I have no idea how much this will be
2 tsp yeast
2tsp salt
1 tbl margerine
wish me luck :) the cereal is cooking now. I hope to get it kneading in about an hour. I love experiments!
EDIT:
the bread is DELICIOUS. I baked it in a loaf pan at 350 degrees about 45 min. it turned out squishy and soft on the inside and light brown on outside. I ended up using about 1 cup of water and approx 3.5 cups of AP flour. I highly reccomend doing this. my daughter is begging for anothre peice as i type this! Oh and I used the very vanilla flavor of cereal.
YUM
