MULTIGRAIN MUFFIN

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk flours, oat bran, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Lightly beat the eggs and egg white in a medium bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, brown sugar, and oil. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour mixture until just evenly moist; the batter will be very thick. Fold in the dried fruit. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Top with the walnuts. Bake until firm when pressed gently, about 25 minutes. Turn the muffins out of the cups and cool on a rack; serve warm or room temperature.

MULTIGRAIN ROLLS

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.

MULTIGRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the egg in a medium bowl. Add the yogurt, milk, lemon zest, nutmeg and oil and whisk until combined. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
• Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; lightly brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden on the other side, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as necessary. Serve with butter and syrup.

MULTI-GRAIN BREAD

Steps:

• Combine cereal and boiling water in a microwavable bowl, set aside for 10 minutes.
• Stir honey and oil into the cereal; heat until hot (about 125-130°F or 50-55°C).
• In a separate large bowl, mix 1 cup whole wheat flour with the all purpose flour, oat bran, yeast, sugar and salt.
• Beat in hot cereal mixture and egg.
• Using electric mixer beat for 2 minutes at high speed.
• Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to make a stiff batter.
• With floured hands, pat dough in a 9x5 sprayed or lightly greased loaf pan.
• Cover lightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel; let rise until doubled, 40-60 minutes.
• Remove wrap, bake at 375°F 35-40 minutes or until bottom sounds hollow when tapped.
• Remove from pan, cool on a rack.
