Steps:

• Measure all ingredients into bread machine pan, in order that they are listed. Set machine for dough cycle and start.
• At end of dough cycle, remove dough to lightly floured surface and shape into loaf.
• Place in greased loaf pan, cover and let rise until bread is 1 to 2 inches above edges of pan. Alternatively, form into one or two round loaves and place on cornmeal coated cookie sheet. Be patient, sourdough without the addition of commercial yeast can take up to several hours to rise.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. The top can be brushed with butter for a soft crust, if desired.
• NOTE: To proof your starter, feed it with equal parts of flour and lukewarm water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered. This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be. If you start with 1 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the milk and molasses.
• Heat to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove from heat and sprinkle yeast on top; allow to stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Fit the mixer with the paddle and stir together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
• Whisk the egg yolk into the yeast mixture and add to the bowl.
• Beat on medium speed until a sticky dough forms.
• Continue to beat, adding small amount of all-purpose flour until the dough comes together into a smooth ball.
• Fit the mixer with the dough hook and knead on medium speed until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes; add additional all-purpose flour as needed to reduce stickiness.
• Form the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl turning to coat with oil.
• Cover the bowl with towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Lightly oil a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
• Punch the dough down and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured work area and sprinkle with 1/3 cup sunflower seeds.
• Knead the dough until the seeds are evenly distributed.
• Roll the dough into a 12 by 7 inch rectangle and beginning on the short side, roll up loosely and pinch the seam to seal.
• Place seam side down in prepared pan, cover and allow to rise until doubled, aproximately 30 minutes.
• While the dough is rising, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white with 2 tablespoons of water.
• Brush the top of the loaf with egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of rolled oats and sunflower seeds.
• Bake until the top is golden and hollow sounding when tapped, about 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cool in pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Mix proofed sourdough starter and Harvest Grain Blend, cover, and let soak 2-8 hours.
• Combine all ingredients, adding additional flour if necessary. (This can be done in a breadmaker, set to the dough setting.).
• Allow dough to rest 30 mintues. Fold, like a letter, making three folds, turning the dough 90 degrees in between turns.
• Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat; cover and place in fridge for 6-8 hours. **You may omit this step if time does not permit it.**.
• Shape dough into a loaf, and place in greased (PAM'd) loaf pan, or on a cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Allow to rise until doubled in bulk, approximately 3 hours. If using more of the grain blend for topping, spray loaf with water, and sprinkle topping on, adding a even but light layer. Slash 2-3 1/2" deep slashes on top of loaf.
• Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. The top can be brushed with butter for a soft crust, if desired.
• NOTE: To proof your starter, feed it with equal parts of flour and lukewarm water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered. This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be. If you start with 1 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.

Steps:

• In a saucepan heat enough water to cover the seeds, to a boil. Pour over seeds and let sit in the refrigerator overnight.
• Combine yeast and milk into a Kitchen Aid bowl, or other dough mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients, starting with the bread flour, then everything else on top. Mix with dough hook on low. Develop gluten with machine on medium for approximately 13 to 15 minutes until dough is smooth and springs back when touched.
• Turn dough out into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch down dough and let relax for 10 to 15 minutes. Divide it into two pieces. Form pieces into loaf shapes. Place in loaf pans. Allow to rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Eggwash each loaf and with a sharp knife score top. Bake in a 350 degree F oven until golden brown and bottom when rapped sounds hollow; approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil. Add 1 cup millet and cook, stirring until the millet begins to toast and become brown. Add 2 cups boiling water, cover and simmer 30 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed. Let stand for five minutes then serve with milk, fruit of your choice and brown sugar.

Steps:

• Starter: In large bowl, combine water, sugar, starter, flour, stirring until mixture is consistency of thick pancake batter, about 2 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand in warm place until bubbly and puffy, and yeasty/sour aroma develops, 8 to 12 hours.
• Stir in 4 cups of the flour, warm water, sunflower seeds, honey and salt, using a stand mixer or your hands, to make soft, somewhat sticky dough. Add the remaining 1/2 cup flour if the dough is too sticky.
• Turn out into oiled bowl; let rest for 30 minutes. Fold dough (like folding a letter), turn 90 degrees, fold again, repeat twice. Return to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes more; repeat foldings. Form into loaf - round or loaf shaped, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, 2 to 2 1-1/2 hours. You can place it in a greased loaf pan or cookie sheet, in a brotform -- whatever. I highly recommend using a brotform and a baking stone, or a clay baker, but it works well with a simple loaf pan.
• Preheat oven to 375. If using a stone, place it in while preheating, for around 20 minutes. If using a clay baker, follow the usual process.
• If using topping, spray with Pam or water, and sprinkle it on top. Slash top. Bake in centre of 375°F (190°C) oven until instant-read thermometer registers 215°F (102°C) and/or loaf is golden and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 50 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool.

Steps:

• If making in a bread maker, put all ingredients in bread machine pan and cook on the whole wheat cycle.
• If making in a stand mixer, combine water, sugar, salt, margarine and yeast.
• Add remaining ingredients.
• Knead until a smooth ball forms, about 3-5 minutes.
• Let dough rise for 45 minutes.
• Punch down and form into a loaf.
• Place in greased loaf pan.
• Let rise for 45 minutes.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; stir in yeast. Set aside until a creamy foam starts to form, about 5 minutes.
• Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor; pulse 4 times. Add chia seeds, wheat germ, flax seeds, millet, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, and 1 tablespoon oats; pulse until incorporated.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture in the food processor; process until a dough ball forms, about 1 minute.
• Turn dough into a well-oiled large bowl and cover with a damp towel; allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and knead a few times. Form dough into an oblong shape and place in a greased bread pan. Lightly press the remaining hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and oats onto the loaf. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm area for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
