Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups Whole Wheat Flour ((16 ounces))
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, chopped ((1.25 ounces))
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped ((1 ounce))
2 Tablespoons flaxseed ((optional))
3 Tablespoons olive oil ((1.25 ounces))
5 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup ((3.75 ounces))
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons instant rapid rise yeast
1 1/3 cups lukewarm water

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine all ingredients. Mix until you have a fairly shaggy dough. Let it rest for 20 minutes, covered. Then, knead the dough until it is fairly smooth. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for two hours, until it is nearly doubled in bulk.
  • Gently deflate the dough (I just pressed down on it with my fingertips about ten times). Shape it into a log and place it into a lightly greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" bread pan. Cover the pan with a clear shower cap (or lightly greased plastic wrap) and let it rise for another 2 hours, until the dough has crowned 1" to 2" over the rim of the bread pan.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. (Mine was done at about 35 minutes, so make sure not to over bake). Place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the pan for the final 20 minutes of baking to make sure the top crust doesn't burn.

SEEDED WHOLE-GRAIN QUICK BREAD



Seeded Whole-Grain Quick Bread image

Bake this healthy, seedy loaf on Sunday and you can enjoy it all week--if it doesn't disappear first. This quick bread recipe is the perfect vehicle for both sweet and savory toppings, so try it as avocado toast one day and with honey the next. Store it tightly wrapped, as all the seeds make it a little more apt to dry out than typical whole-wheat breads.

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup unsalted sunflower seeds
⅓ cup unsalted pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons flaxseed
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cups white whole-wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups buttermilk
1 cup rolled oats

2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Whisk eggs in a medium bowl, then stir in buttermilk, oats, oil and honey (or maple syrup). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients; stir and fold together until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved seeds.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole-wheat flour, preferably stone-ground
2 tablespoons wheat bran
3/4 cup warm whole milk (about 110 degrees)
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 envelopes active dry yeast (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons coarse whole-grain cornmeal
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed, plus 1 teaspoon whole for sprinkling
2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups bread flour
Olive oil, cooking spray

Steps:

  • Stir whole-wheat flour, bran, and 1 cup water in a bowl. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Stir milk and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir in yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Put whole-wheat flour mixture, milk mixture, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, the cornmeal, 3 tablespoons oats, the ground flaxseed, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix on medium-low speed until combined. Add 2 1/2 cups bread flour; mix until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 2 minutes (if dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time). Continue kneading until dough is soft and elastic, about 5 minutes more.
  • Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough to bowl; turn to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight; bring to room temperature).
  • Turn out dough onto a work surface; shape into a loaf about 9 inches long. Using a spray bottle, mist with water; sprinkle top with remaining 2 teaspoons oats and the whole flaxseed. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Transfer loaf to the pan, and cover lightly with the plastic wrap. Let stand until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mist oven with water; place loaf in oven. Bake 5 minutes; mist oven again. Continue to bake, rotating pan once, until well browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Unmold bread onto a wire rack; return to oven, and bake directly on oven rack 5 minutes more. Remove from oven; let cool completely on rack.

100% WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT BREAD



100% Whole Grain Wheat Bread image

If you like fluffy brown bread this is it. No white flour here. You can use any 100% whole grain wheat flour. I mill my own. This bread is not heavy like most 100% whole wheat breads. If it is you used too much flour and your dough was too stiff. If it flattens out and won't stand up you need more flour. The total amount of flour is usually about 6 1/2 to 7 cups. This recipe has been in my family for years and we all make it. We make a lot more now that we have powerful mixers and the hand kneading is bye bye.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h15m

Yield 2 Loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 3/4 cups hot water
1/3 cup olive oil, any oil is fine
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon salt, Sea Salt is good
7 1/2 cups of 100% whole grain wheat flour
2 tablespoons dry active yeast

Steps:

  • Place the first five ingredients in the bowl and mix.
  • Add: 2 Cups 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour. (to cool the water and end up with warm dough) Mix then add 2 Tbs of Dry Active Yeast. If your not sure about your yeast proof it in a little warm water first.
  • Add: 4 Cups of 100% Whole Grain Wheat Flour.
  • Mix until the consistency is some what even. Then continue to slowly add flour 1/2 Cup at a time until the dough quits sticking to the sides of the bowl. It should be tacky to the touch. The trick is to have enough consistency to stand up with the least amount of flour so the bread will be fluffy. It will most likely be 6 1/2 cups but in any case do not exceed 7 1/2 cups of wheat flour. You can trade one cup of wheat flour for one cup of all purpose white if you wish. Don't over mix or the bread will be tough.
  • When your dough is finished, leave it in the mixer, cover the bowl and let it rise for about 30-45 minutes. The dough will be larger but it doesn't need to double.
  • Grease two bread pans with Crisco. You can also flour the pans to reduce sticking.
  • Mix the dough again just enough to knock it down at least close to the original size.
  • Drop the dough on a floured surface so you can work the dough and shape it. Shape it with your hands to make a nice ball getting enough flour on it so it isn't sticky. Divide the ball in half and do it again. Shape the loaves by turning the dough under it's self over and over. When the dough is shaped the sides and ends will be sealed and all you will see is a nice oblong shaped loaf with smooth sides and top. Drop the loaves in your bread pans and let them rise until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 36 minutes. If you forgot to preheat 41 minutes. (gas oven).
  • When done turn the bread out of the pan to a rack to cool. You can eat it right away (a great time for real butter) don't wrap it until completely cooled. (Condensation will make it soggy) Put in tinfoil to store on the counter. If you put it in the refrigerator it will turn into a brick. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of whole grains and seeds: This will give your bread a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include whole wheat flour, oats, flaxseed, chia seeds, and sunflower seeds.
  • Soak the seeds before adding them to the dough: This will help them to soften and absorb more water, which will make the bread more moist.
  • Don't over-knead the dough: Over-kneading will make the bread tough. Knead the dough just until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help it to double in size and develop a good flavor.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will give it a crispy crust and a light, airy interior.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious and nutritious whole grain bread at home. Experiment with different combinations of whole grains and seeds to find a flavor and texture that you love. And don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings – the possibilities are endless!
