Nine Grain Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Add the flax and sunflower seeds to a measuring cup. Fill the cup to the 3/4 mark with the seven grain cereal.
• Add ingredients to bread machine in the order listed.
• After dough has mixed and risen, remove and form into 5 mini loaves.
• Let rise for about 1 hour.
• Bake for 22 minutes at 350 degrees on Convection setting.
• For a regular oven add about 1/3 more time.

Steps:

• Step 1:.
• Place cereal mix in a bowl of standing mixer and pour boiling water over it; let stand, stirring occasionally, until mixture cools to 100 degrees and resembles thick porridge, about 1 hour. Whisk flours in medium bowl.
• Step 2:.
• Once grain mixture has cooled, add honey, melted butter, and yeast and stir to combine. Attach bowl to standing mixer fitted with dough hook. With mixer running on low speed, add flours 1/2 cup at a time, and knead until dough ball forms, 1 to 2 minutes; cover bowl with plastic and let dough rest 20 minutes. Add salt and knead on medium low speed until dough clears side of bowl, 3 to 4 minutes (if it does not clear sides, add 2 to 3 tablespoons additional flour and continue mixing); continue to knead for 5 more minutes. Add seeds and knead another 15 seconds. Transfer dough to floured work surface and knead by hand until seeds are evenly dispersed and dough forms smooth taunt ball. Place dough into greased container with a 4 quart capacity; cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Step 3:.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 2 9 by 5 inch loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface and pat into 12 by 9 rectangle; cut dough in half crosswise with knife or bench scraper. Shape loaves and roll loaves in oats to coat and place in pans. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size 30-40 minutes. Dough should barely spring back when poked with knuckle. Bake until internal temperature registers 200 degrees on instant read thermometer, 35-40 minutes. Remove loaves from pans and cool on wire rack before slicing, about 3 hours.

Steps:

• 1. In a very large bowl, combine 1 cup bread flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, 1 tsp brown sugar and 1 cup of the warm water. Beat with electric mixer until smooth. Let stand 20 minutes till foamy and doubled in size. 2. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups warm water, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, oil, and salt to yeast mixture; beat till smooth. Beat in nine-grain cereal, chia, and flax. Beat in 2 cups of the bread flour. Stir in the remaining bread flour 1/2 cup at a time. 3. Knead with an electric mixer for 10-12 minutes. 4. Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place till nearly doubled in size (about 1 hour). 5. Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 4 or 5 times. Divide in half. Shape each portion into a loaf by patting/rolling. Place in two greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place till nearly doubled in size (30-45 minutes). 6. Bake in a 375F oven for 35-40 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when you tap the top with your fingers. Immediately remove to wire racks; cool. Enjoy!
