HEALTHY MULTIGRAIN AND SEED BREAD

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.

HEALTHY MULTIGRAIN YOGURT & SEED BREAD (BREAD MACHINE/ABM)

Steps:

• Put these ingredients into your bread machine in this order, or the order recommended by your manufacturer, then do a basic dough cycle. Set to 2-lb capacity.
• When the dough cycle's finished, the result should be a nice brown glob of dough flecked with seeds, grains, and whatever else you put inches It should be very easy to mold and roll out but if it isn't, knead it on a floured surface until you can roll it out easily.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper down on a cookie sheet. Mold the glob of dough into a large loaf.
• Bake at 375F for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is browned.

HEARTY MULTIGRAIN SEEDED BREAD

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.

MULTIGRAIN SEED BREAD

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.

MULTIGRAIN SEED BREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast, whisk to combine and let the yeasted "bloom" for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile combine the flours, oats, salt, wheat gluten, and seeds in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Mix on low speed to combine all of the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the oil and molasses together thoroughly. Add the yeast liquid and the molasses mixture to the bowl of the mixer. Mix on low for about 3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Turn up the speed to medium high and knead the dough for about 12 minutes. The dough should form a smooth ball, that may be somewhat sticky, thats ok!
• Transfer the dough to a large lightly oiled bowl, and cover with a damp towel to rise for about an hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Prepare 2 9x5" loaf pans by lining with parchment paper, and/or spraying with nonstick cooking spray. After an hour, remove the dough from the bowl and place on a large work surface, Cut the dough in half. Pat one half into an even smooth 9" square. Starting with side closest to you, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Shore up the sides and create an even smooth loaf. Place the loaf, seam side down, into the prepare loaf pan. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
• Cover the loaf pans with a damp cloth, and let rise until about an inch above the rim of the pan, about an hour and 15 minutes, but this can vary depending on the temperature in your room, so keep an eye.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray each loaf with water and sprinkle the extra seeds/oats on top generously. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown, and the loaf sounds hollow when you tap it. Let cool for 5 minutes, then remove from the baking pan, and allow to cool completely before slicing.

• 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.
