10 Grain Bread Food

FRENCH BREAD (10-GRAIN)

Steps:

• Add 10- grain cereal to boiling water; set aside for 20 minutes or until lukewarm.
• Pour the cooled cereal, water, olive oil, honey and salt into the bread machine pan.
• Add 3 cups bread flour, the wheat flours, vital wheat gluten and yeast.
• Start machine using the dough setting. If dough is too sticky add up to 1/2 cups more bread flour or add a little more water to dough if too dry. You want the dough to be just slightly sticky.
• When machine has finished the dough cycle (mine is 1-1/2 hours), punch dough down and divide in half.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Roll each half into a 12" x 15" rectangle.
• Roll dough tightly, from longest side pressing seams and tapering ends and tucking under.
• Place loaves on a greased baking sheet or in a french/baguette pan.
• Cover and let rise in warm place, free from draft, about an hour, or until doubled in bulk.
• With sharp knife, make 3-4 diagonal cuts on top of loaf.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
• Remove to cooling rack and brush melted butter over tops of loaves.
• Cool at least 1 hour before slicing.

10 GRAIN BREAD

Steps:

• Mix together the cereal and first amount of water in a saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes to soften the cereal.
• If you want you can set it aside to cool or mix together with cool water and ice cubes to cool it faster.
• Put all ingredients into a KitchenAid mixer. Mix together using the dough hook, once everything is mixed together knead for 2 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl and let sit for 1 hour or until doubled in size. I have also rushed this recipe and let it sit for as little as 15 minutes.
• Punch down and divide into 4 equal pieces. I use a scale to ensure they are the same size. Shape dough and place into greased bread pans.
• Let rise for 1 hour or until double in size.
• Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes or until golden brown and the sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Remove from pans and cool on wire racks.

SPENT GRAIN BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Proof yeast in mixture of water and sugar (make a starter). You should see krausen in less than an hour.
• Put spent grain in large mixer bowl. Mix in starter, and start adding flour. Keep adding flour until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Place dough in a large bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise until doubled. Punch down dough, and either:.
• A) Split into two loaves and place in greased bread pans.
• B) Form into a round loaf and place on cookie sheet with a thin layer of corn meal under the loaf.
• Allow loaf(ves) to double in size, bake in 375 F oven 30 to 40 minutes until browned and a long pin, such as a turkey pan, comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf.
