Multiseeded Multigrain Bread Or Rolls 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:

• Stir 1 cup all-purpose flour with the sugar, 3/4 teaspoon yeast and 3/4 cup warm water in a large bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature until bubbly and about doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, cover the millet with more warm water in a small dish and set aside.
• Stir the yeast mixture a bit to break it up. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon yeast and 1/2 cup warm water, the molasses and olive oil. Stir to combine (it may look lumpy).
• Add the remaining 1 cup all-purpose flour, the whole-wheat flour, rye flour, cornmeal, hemp hearts and salt to the yeast mixture. Drain the millet and add to the bowl. Stir everything together with a rubber spatula until there is no dry flour left. Let stand to hydrate the flour, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Dust the top of the dough with more flour and knead just until well combined but still a little tacky, adding a bit more flour as needed (you should only need a few tablespoons), about 3 minutes. Lightly rub a large bowl with olive oil. Add the dough, turn to coat and cover the bowl. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Rub the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Form the rolls: Turn out the dough onto a clean surface and gently pat into a square; cut into 12 equal pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time, pull the corners into the center and press gently to adhere. Turn the piece over and gently roll into a ball. Transfer to the baking dish, using a bench scraper if they stick. Cover the dish and set aside until the rolls are slightly puffed, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with a few rolled oats. Bake until well risen and lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.

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 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:

• Put bulgur in a large bowl and pour warm water over top. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften.
• Sprinkle yeast on top and let stand another 15 minutes until the yeast is foamy, then stir.
• To the yeast mixture, add honey, oil, pecans, sunflower seeds, sesame and poppy seeds, salt, and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat on low speed of an electric mixer. Add remaining flour slowly. (my mixer isn't strong enough for this, so I do it while kneading).
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and springs back.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat, and cover with parchment paper and a tea towel. Put the bowl in a warm, draft free place to rise for 2 hours. I warm up the oven for a few minutes and do my rising in there.
• Punch the dough down. You can have either 2 loaves, baked in 8-1/2 x 4 loaf pans which have been lightly greased, or 16 rolls. For the bread 'rounds' as show in the photo: form the dough into a cylinder, and cut into 1" slices. After you have divided your dough, loosely cover with parchment paper and let rise again for a further 45 minutes. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake at 375*. Bread will take about 35 - 40 minutes, rolls and rounds about 20.
• NOTE: This is an adapted version of Robin Hoods 'Multiseed Bread'. The original called for walnuts, a half cup each of sunflower and pumpkin seeds, and whole wheat flour.

Steps:

• Tip the flour, seeds, yeast and salt into a large bowl. Mix the water, oil and honey in a jug, then pour into the dry mix, stirring all the time to make a soft dough. If it feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins, until the dough no longer feels sticky, sprinkling with a little more flour as you need it.
• Oil a 1.2-litre loaf tin and put the dough in the tin, pressing it in evenly. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 1 hr, until it springs back when you press it with your finger. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Make eight slashes across the top of the loaf, brush with water and sprinkle alternately with poppy and sesame seeds. Bake for 30-35 mins until the loaf is risen and brown. Tip it out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool.

Steps:

• Place cereal in large bowl. Pour 2 cups boiling water over. Let stand until mixture cools to between 105°F. and 115°F., about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle yeast over cereal. Add 1 cup bread flour, oil, sugar and salt and stir until smooth. Gradually mix in enough remaining bread flour to form dough. Cover dough; let rest 15 minutes.
• Turn out dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if sticky, about 10 minutes. Oil large bowl. Add dough to bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with clean kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Mix all seeds in bowl. Punch down dough. Turn out onto lightly oiled surface. Knead briefly. Shape into 12x4-inch loaf.Sprinkle baking sheet with 2 teaspoons seeds. Place loaf atop seeds. Cover with towel. Let rise in warm area until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Position 1 oven rack in center and 1 just below center in oven. Place baking pan on lower rack and preheat oven to 425°F. Brush loaf with water. Sprinkle with remaining seed mixture. Using sharp knife, cut 3 diagonal slashes in surface of loaf. Place baking sheet with loaf in oven. Immediately pour 2 cups water into hot pan on lower rack in oven (water will steam).
• Bake loaf until golden and crusty and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.(Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in plastic; store at room temperature.)
