I adapted this for the bread machine when I used to use a bread machine. It was from a recipe off of a Bob's Red Mill bag. Very flavorful.

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

I based this off another yogurt bread recipe I found but made a whole bunch of tweaks. Using that King Arthur white-wheat flour is ideal but regular AP flour will do as will bread flour if you omit the wheat gluten. Hence I put in AP flour for the other flour type. Feel free to use a wheat or wholegrain setting on your bread machine but I prefer to bake this in the oven because it comes out with far better texture. Vegans, you can easily make this vegan using soy or almond yogurt and Earth Balance/Soy Garden. Regardless, it needs the yogurt or yogurt-like substance and a solid fat for the texture, oil won't do. This is also a versatile recipe, use any seeds and grains you like!! Like subbing sunflower for pumpkin seeds, amaranth for quinoa, etc. So long as there's 5-6 tablespoons, you're good. Feel free to try a mix or just one grain/seed! I put down prep time as 90 minutes since that's how long my dough cycle is.

Time 2h5m

Yield 1 2-lb loaf, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 tablespoon millet
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon flax seed
1 tablespoon quinoa, rinsed
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

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.

Tips for Making Multigrain Bread in a Bread Machine:

  • Use a variety of grains: For a more complex flavor and texture, use a combination of different grains, such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, and flaxseed.
  • Soak the grains: Soaking the grains before baking helps to soften them and make them more digestible. You can soak the grains overnight or for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality bread machine: A good quality bread machine will help to ensure that your bread turns out evenly cooked and with a consistent texture.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Be sure to follow the recipe carefully, especially when it comes to the amount of ingredients and the order in which they are added to the bread machine.
  • Don't overfill the bread machine: Overfilling the bread machine can prevent the bread from rising properly.
  • Check the bread before it is finished baking: Use the viewing window on your bread machine to check the bread before it is finished baking. If the bread is too dark or too light, adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

Baking multigrain bread in a bread machine is a great way to enjoy fresh, healthy bread at home. By following these tips, you can make sure that your bread turns out perfect every time. With a little practice, you'll be able to experiment with different recipes and create your own unique multigrain bread. Enjoy!
