Servings 3 loaves
Ingredients
- 500 grams warm water
- 900 grams bread flour
- 50 grams honey
- 40 grams olive oil or avocado oil
- 20 grams salt
- 100 grams wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp yeast
Soaker
- 50 -80 grams multigrain or 9 grain cereal You want to use 80 grams total, so yoy can use the full amount of cereal or add some optional ingredients I have listed, such as sunflower seeds, quinoa, flaxseed , oatmeal etc. SEE NOTES FOR MORE INFO
- 160 grams water
Instructions
- To start you want to prepare your soaker. Add the water and the grains in a bowl and let it sit for a few hours.
- In your stand mixer with the dough hook attached, put your water, honey, soaker and yeast. Give it a quick stir and let it sit while you collect the salt, flour and wheat flour. Add your salt and 3-4 cups of flour, including the wheat flour.
- Mix until combined and then gradually add the rest of the flour. You want the flour to be soft but not too sticky. It should pull away from the bowl but still be soft enough to work with. Knead it for about 5-8 minutes until the gluten is developed.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl or container and cover. Let it rise until doubled in size. While it is rising preheat your oven to 350 degree F
- Once the dough has doubled in size, pour out the dough onto a floured surface. Split it into 3 equal parts. Shape the dough into loaves. You can do that by shaping it into a ball and the take the smooth side and place it down in a greased bread pan. Pinch the seams together and then roll the seams under, rotating the dough until the smooth side is on top.
- Cover the dough and let it rise until it just doubles. If you poke the side of the dough and the indent stays it is ready to bake. If it bounces right back out it needs more time to rise.
- Place the fully proofed bread into the hot oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. You can score the dough prior to placing it in the oven if you choose, but it is not completely necessary.
- The load should sound hallow and be a golden brown in color. You can tap the loaf with your hand and it should have a nice crust with a hollow sound.
- Let them cool on a wire rack on its side until it is ready to be cut. Enjoy with butter, jam, grilled cheese, sandwiches and so much more!
Notes
When adding the ingredients for the soaker this is the breakdown that I use:
50 grams 9 grain cereal (if the cereal has flax seed I will not add extra but if it doesn't I will add that with the oatmeal or seeds.) You can adjust the ratio of these ingredients to your preference.
25 grams oatmeal or ground flax or a combination of both
10 grams sunflower seeds ( I like too rough chop them)
