Magic Multigrain Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread image

Magic multigrain whole wheat sandwich bread is the BEST beginner recipe for home bakers looking for an easy, healthy homemade bread recipe.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Snack

Time 13h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons coarse ground cornmeal (or millet, quinoa, or amaranth)
3 tablespoons old fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons wheat bran
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup warm water ((about 110 degrees F))
1 tablespoon dry active yeast
3 cups whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons cooked brown rice
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (or rolled oats for sprinkling)

Steps:

  • The day before baking, prepare the soaker. In a small bowl, combine the cornmeal, rolled oats, and wheat bran. Pour the 1/4 cup water over the top of the grains, stir, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the soaker sit overnight at room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. (If the yeast does not foam, it did not activate properly and this step will need to be repeated.)
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon), stir together the whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, brown sugar, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the soaker, brown rice, honey, and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients. Add the yeast and water mixture to the dry ingredients, then mix with the paddle attachment (or a wooden spoon) at a low speed until combined and the dough forms a rough, shaggy ball.
  • If using a stand mixer, switch to your dough hook. If making by hand, turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Knead the bread at a medium-low speed for 6 minutes. If using a dough hook, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Finish kneading by hand for an additional 2-4 minutes, until dough is smooth and tacky, but no longer sticky, adding a bit of extra flour as needed. (Total knead time will be 8-10 minutes).
  • Coat a large mixing bowl with cooking spray. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 90 minutes to 2 and 1/2 hours, until the dough has doubled in bulk. (Press two fingers gently into the dough. If the indent stays and does not spring back, the dough is ready).
  • Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Dump the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle that is about 6-inches wide and 10-inches long. Press out any large bubbles.
  • Starting with the short (6-inch) end of the rectangle, roll the dough into a log, pulling the dough tightly as you go. To shape the log to fit the pan, fold each end of the log towards the roll seam so that the log is the same length as the loaf pan. Pinch ends into place. Place the log in the pan, seam side down, and gently press the dough down with the back of your hand so that it is evenly spread.
  • Mist the top of the dough with water (or brush lightly using a pastry brush) and sprinkle with poppy seeds or oats.
  • Cover the pan with a dish towel or plastic wrap and let it rise again until the dough has risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan, about 1 hour.
  • Arrange your oven rack in the center and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake dough for 40-45 minutes, until the loaf is deep brown and sounds hollow when tapped (internal temperature reaches 190 degrees F).
  • Remove loaf from pan and let cool 1 to 2 hours before slicing. Use a bread knife or the sharpest knife you own. Toast (or not), top liberally with butter as desired, and enjoy your handiwork.

1¾ cups (350 g) whole kernel wheat or 2½ cups (300 g) whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 tablespoon light olive or grapeseed oil (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine yeast, honey, and 1¼ cups (300 ml) warm water and set aside to proof, about 5 minutes.
  • 2. When starting with whole kernel wheat: Place wheat, and if desired, salt into the Vitamix Dry Grains Container and secure lid. Select Variable 1. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High. Grind wheat for 1 minute. (Do not over process) Stop the machine and allow the flour to cool for a few minutes.

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

Oil or butter for greasing pan
1 2/3 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt, or 1 1/2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons white vinegar (see Step 2)

Tips:

  • Utilize high-quality ingredients to create flavorful bread. Organic whole wheat flour and stone-ground cornmeal enhance the taste and texture.
  • Activate yeast properly. Lukewarm water (110-115°F) and a dash of sugar help activate the yeast effectively. Proofing time may vary depending on the yeast's activity, so adjust accordingly.
  • Mix and knead the dough thoroughly. Develop gluten in the dough by kneading for 8-10 minutes, creating a smooth and elastic texture. Good gluten formation results in a well-risen loaf.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm spot. An ideal temperature of 70-80°F promotes optimal yeast activity. Use a microwave or an oven with a pilot light to create a warm environment.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature initially (450°F) to create a crisp crust. Lower the temperature (375°F) for the remaining baking time to ensure the bread cooks evenly throughout.
  • Cool the bread completely before slicing. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to prevent moisture condensation and gummy texture.

Conclusion:

This whole wheat bread with cornmeal offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Its wholesome ingredients and artisanal touch make it a perfect choice for health-conscious individuals and bread enthusiasts. The addition of cornmeal adds a unique sweetness and a rustic appearance to the loaf. Whether enjoyed as toast, sandwiches, or simply with a smear of butter, this bread is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
