Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 15m

Yield 4 loaves, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water (70 to 80 degrees)
1 tablespoon water (70 to 80 degrees)
3 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup seven grain cereal (such as Bob's Red Mill)
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Place first 7 ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
  • Select dough setting.
  • When dough is done, turn out and divide into four 6-inch loaves.
  • Place onto a greased baking sheet.
  • Cut three slits into top of each loaf with kitchen scissors.
  • Place in warm place and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat the egg yolk with the teaspoon of water and brush the top of each loaf.
  • Bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes or until golden.

Tips:

  • Use a strong bread flour: This will give your loaves a chewy texture and help them hold their shape.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading will make the dough tough. Knead it just until it comes together and forms a smooth ball.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help it rise quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the loaves in a hot oven: This will give them a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Let the loaves cool completely before slicing: This will help them keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Crusty mini loaves are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just eating plain. With a little practice, you can easily make these loaves at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
