EASY FARMHOUSE MULTI-GRAIN BREAD (FOR BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all in bread machine pan in order given unless instructed otherwise by your machine's manufacturer. Bake on regular setting, medium or light color.
• Either use a scant cup of milk or add a couple or three tablespoons of flour to this to get the doughball the right texture. Keep your flour out and handy just in case, and watch the doughball after it's kneaded for a few minutes.
• Tip: If you have a kitchen scale, measuring flour by weight instead of by volume is not only much more accurate, it's faster and easier too.
• Tip: Never just throw the ingredients into a bread machine and leave it, if you can help it. Let the doughball form, then let the machine work it about five minutes more, then see what it looks like. If the paddle smushes through the bottom of the dough with every turn your dough is too wet. If your dough just spins around on top of the paddle or doesn't form at all, your dough is too dry. The ideal texture is soft enough to smush some of the time but firm enough to spin sometimes, then go off-center and smack the sides of the bread pan a lot.
• Enjoy!

MULTIGRAIN BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle and start.
• Check the consistency after 10 minutes or so, and add flour or water, as needed.
• At end of cycle, remove from pan, shape as desired and place on parchment paper or on cornmeal sprinkled baking sheet. Let rise until almost doubled.
• Slash and place in 400 deg. oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Note: Feel free to substitute any combination of seeds or grains you find appealing. Substitute whole wheat if you have no rye flour. I'm sure this can also be baked in the machine, if you so wish.

Steps:

• All ingredients should be at room temperature.
• Place all ingredients except for nuts/grains in bread machine the order shown. Add nuts/grains before the second kneeding (some bread machines beep when it is okay to open the lid to add ingredients - mine does this at 2:25).

BREAD MACHINE MULTIGRAIN BREAD

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all the ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

MULTIGRAIN ONION ROLLS OR BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the chopped onions, stirring frequently, until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Place all ingredients except for the sunflower seeds, steel-cut oats and sesame seeds in the pan of your bread machine, in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle and start.
• About 5 minutes before the end of the cycle, add the onions (with the butter), seeds and steel-cut oats.
• After dough has risen, punch it down and turn out. Divide into twelve pieces and shape as desired. Place on baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40-45 minutes.
• Place in a preheated 400 deg. F. oven and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Turn out on wire rack to cool.
• Note1: Adding the onion and seeds towards the end keeps them recognizeable in the finished roll, although the sesame seeds are not really visible in any event. The ball of dough will "come apart", but should come back together again.
• Note2: Substitute other seeds you may like, such as poppy or flax. Also feel free to change the proportion of the flours, but I find that the above makes a really nicely flavored bread.
• Note3: This can also be baked as a loaf, for about 35 minutes or until tests done.
