Multigrain And Seed Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; stir in yeast. Set aside until a creamy foam starts to form, about 5 minutes.
• Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor; pulse 4 times. Add chia seeds, wheat germ, flax seeds, millet, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, and 1 tablespoon oats; pulse until incorporated.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture in the food processor; process until a dough ball forms, about 1 minute.
• Turn dough into a well-oiled large bowl and cover with a damp towel; allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and knead a few times. Form dough into an oblong shape and place in a greased bread pan. Lightly press the remaining hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and oats onto the loaf. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm area for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, mix the seeds with the oats.
• In a saucepan, combine the water and molasses and warm the mixture over low heat until a thermometer reads 120 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C) .
• Add the liquid to the flour mixture with the egg white. Mix together until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes; then shape into a ball. Lightly oil a large stainless steel bowl. Add the dough and turn to cover the dough with the oil. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours until doubled in size.
• When the dough has risen, punch the dough down with your fists and add all but 2 Tablespoons of the seed mixture working it into the dough. Reserve the 2 Tablespoons of seed mixture for the topping. Shape the dough into a loaf by rolling it into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle and then roll up by its shortest end. Pinch the ends together and tuck underneath. Place in a non-stick 9x5 inch loaf pan with the seam underneath. Cover the loaf pan with a tea towel and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush the top of the loaf with milk and sprinkle on the reserved seed mixture. Bake the bread for 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the pan and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together (I use my KitchenAid mixer) until a slightly sticky ball forms. You may not need the full amount of water. If you don't buy yeast in bulk, you can use one full package yeast.
• Place in a clean oiled (I use nonstick spray) covered bowl to rise for one hour. While mixing the dough I preheat the oven to @ 200, turn it off and let the bread rise there.
• Form into a loaf, put in 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 oiled (or nonstick sprayed) loaf pan and put in a warm dry place to rise once more for up to 1 1/2 hours. Allow the bread to rise until it crowns above the top edge of the pan. Be careful not to let it rise too much or it will deflate some while cooking.
• Remove the cover, and cook at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes. I let the bread stay in the oven while it preheats.
• ** You can experiment with different flours based on what you have in your pantry.
• ** Try adding different seed combinations or pine nuts -- yum.

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat enough water to cover the seeds, to a boil. Pour over seeds and let sit in the refrigerator overnight.
• Combine yeast and milk into a Kitchen Aid bowl, or other dough mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients, starting with the bread flour, then everything else on top. Mix with dough hook on low. Develop gluten with machine on medium for approximately 13 to 15 minutes until dough is smooth and springs back when touched.
• Turn dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch down dough and let relax for 10 to 15 minutes. Divide it into two pieces. Form pieces into loaf shapes. Place in loaf pans. Allow to rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Eggwash each loaf and with a sharp knife score top. Bake in a 350 degree F oven until golden brown and bottom when rapped sounds hollow; approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil. Add 1 cup millet and cook, stirring until the millet begins to toast and become brown. Add 2 cups boiling water, cover and simmer 30 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed. Let stand for five minutes then serve with milk, fruit of your choice and brown sugar.

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat enough water to cover the seeds, to a boil. Pour over sunflower seeds and let sit in the refrigerator overnight.

• Eggwash each loaf and with a sharp knife score top. Bake in a 350 degree F oven until golden brown and bottom when rapped sounds hollow; approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Place the water in a large mixing bowl, crumble in the yeast (if using dry yeast, let dissolve), then stir in the sourdough, salt, honey, seeds and flour.
• Stir the dough until it is elastic and cohesive but still very wet and sticky, about 15 minutes by hand or 10 minutes with the paddle attachment of a heavy-duty electric mixer set at medium speed. Sprinkle the surface of the dough with flour, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rest in a warm place for one hour.
• Oil a pair of metal loaf pans, 2 1/2 by 4 by 8 inches. Stir down the dough and divide it between them, cover with plastic wrap and let rise only until one-and-a-half times the original height, about 45 minutes. The dough will not fill the pans completely.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and make the loaves for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and bake 20 to 30 minutes more, or until the loaves sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the loaves from the pans and cool on their sides on wire racks.
