Pal's is local to me as it was founded in Kingsport and I live about 20
minutes south in Johnson City.  I have been to Pal's, and frankly, I
don't see what the big deal is about their food.  To me, it's average
fast food though their service is great.  The founder of Pal's passed
away recently and the whole aea was in mourning.  Maybe it's a native
local thing.

If I'm gonna go get a burger, I'd rather go to Blue Moose which is also
a local chain.  https://bluemooseburgersandwings.com/

      Title: Dakota Bread (Cook's Country Web)
 Categories: Bread, Cereals, Grain, Seandennis
      Yield: 1 Servings

      2 c  Warm water (110 degrees)
  1 1/2 c  (7 1/2 ounces) seven-grain
           Hot cereal mix (not cold
           Cereal!)
      2 tb Honey
      2 tb Vegetable oil
  3 1/2 c  (19 1/4 ounces) bread flour
  1 3/4 ts Salt
      1 ts Instant or rapid-rise yeast
      3 tb Raw, unsalted pepitas
      3 tb Raw, unsalted sunflower
           Seeds
      1 ts Sesame seeds
      1 ts Poppy seeds
      1 lg Egg, lightly beaten

  Grease large bowl. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In
  bowl of stand mixer, combine water, cereal, honey, and oil and let
  sit for 10 minutes.

  Add flour, salt, and yeast to cereal mixture. Fit stand mixer with
  dough hook and knead on low speed until dough is smooth and elastic,
  4 to 6 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons pepitas and 2 tablespoons sunflower
  seeds to dough and knead for 1 minute longer. Turn out dough onto
  lightly floured counter and knead until seeds are evenly distributed,
  about 2 minutes.

  Transfer dough to greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough
  rise at room temperature until almost doubled in size and fingertip
  depression in dough springs back slowly, 60 to 90 minutes.

  Gently press down on center of dough to deflate. Transfer dough to
  lightly floured counter and shape into tight round ball. Place dough
  on prepared sheet. Cover dough loosely with plastic and let rise at
  room temperature until almost doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.

  Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lowest positions and heat oven
  to 425 degrees. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon pepitas, remaining 1
  tablespoon sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds in small
  bowl. Using sharp knife, make 1/4-inch-deep cross, 5 inches long, on
  top of loaf. Brush loaf with egg and sprinkle seed mixture evenly
  over top.

  Place 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan on lowest oven rack and fill with
  1 cup boiling water. Place baking sheet with dough on upper-middle
  rack and reduce oven to 375 degrees F. Bake until crust is dark brown
  and bread registers 200 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer loaf to
  wire rack and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Serve.

  Makes one 10-inch loaf.
