Categories     bread

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ cups eight-grain hot cereal mix1
2 ½ cups boiling water
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup butter (melted)
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats

Steps:

  • Place cereal mix in bowl of stand mixer fitted with dough hook, and pour boiling water over it; let stand, stirring occasionally, until mixture cools to 100-105 degrees (F), about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, whisk flours and salt together in separate bowl; set aside.
  • Once grain mixture has reached 100-105 F, add honey, butter, and yeast and stir until combined.
  • Let mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, and knead until dough starts to come together.
  • Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and let dough rest for 20 minutes.
  • Knead on medium-low speed until dough clears sides of bowl, 3-4 minutes. If it does not clear sides, keep adding 2 tablespoons additional all-purpose flour and knead until it does.
  • Once it comes together, continue to knead dough for 5 additional minutes.
  • Add seeds, and knead until seeds are evenly dispersed throughout the dough and dough forms smooth, round ball.
  • Place dough in large, lightly greased bowl; cover tightly with plastic, and let rise at room temperature until nearly doubled in size, 45-60 minutes.
  • Grease two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
  • Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and divide in half.
  • Stretch first piece of dough into 9×6 inch rectangle.
  • Roll dough into a cylinder, and place dough seam-side down in prepared loaf pan.
  • Repeat with second piece of dough.
  • Spray loaves lightly with water or vegetable oil spray.
  • Sprinkle both loaves in oats.
  • Cover loaves loosely with greased plastic, and let rise at room temperature until nearly doubled in size 30-40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Bake until loaves register 200 degrees, 30-40 minutes.
  • Transfer pans to wire rack, and let loaves cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Remove loaves from pans, and let them cool to room temperature on wire cooling rack.

SOFT MULTIGRAIN BREAD



Soft Multigrain Bread image

This is wholesome multigrain bread with an irresistibly soft and fluffy interior. For best success, take the time to review the recipe notes before starting. Though not required, an instant read thermometer is helpful in a few of these steps.

Categories     Bread

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (60g) dry multigrain cereal mix or rolled oats (see note)
1 and 3/4 cups (410ml) boiling water
2 and 1/4 teaspoons (7g) instant or active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
3 Tablespoons (37g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3 Tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 and 1/3 cups (433g) bread flour, plus more as needed and for hands/work surface
optional: 1/2 cup (60g) sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, pepitas, raisins, or dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Place cereal mix in a large heatproof bowl (you can also use the bowl of your stand mixer). Pour boiling water on top. Let the mixture cool until a digital thermometer reads about 110°F (43°C). This usually takes 20 minutes. Pay attention to the temperature because if it's too hot, it will kill the yeast. If it became too cool, however, it's not a problem- the dough may just take a few extra minutes to rise.
  • Whisk the yeast, sugar, and all of the warm water/cereal mixture in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes or until foamy and bubbly on the surface.
  • Add the butter, salt, and 1 cup (about 130g) flour. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add another cup of flour. Beat on medium speed until relatively incorporated (there may still be chunks of butter). Add all of the remaining flour and the seeds/nuts (if using), then beat on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes. If it seems too sticky, add more flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time until it begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. *If you do not own a mixer, you can mix this dough with a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula. It will take a bit of arm muscle!*
  • Keep the dough in the mixer (and switch to the dough hook if you used the paddle) and beat for an additional 2 minutes OR knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes. Dough is soft, yet heavy.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a relatively warm environment for 1-2 hours or until double in size. (I always let it rise on the counter. Takes about 2 hours. For a tiny reduction in rise time, see my answer to Where Should Dough Rise? in my Baking with Yeast Guide.)
  • Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  • When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Lightly flour a work surface, your hands, and a rolling pin. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 8×15 inches. It does not have to be perfect- in fact, it will probably be rounded on the edges. That's ok! Roll it up into an 8 inch log and place in the prepared loaf pan.
  • Cover shaped loaf with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise until it's about 1-2 inches above the top of the loaf pan, about 1 hour. (See photo above for a visual.)
  • Adjust oven rack to a lower position and preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). (It's best to bake the bread towards the bottom of the oven so the top doesn't burn.)
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes- if you notice the top browning too quickly during bake time, loosely tent the pan with aluminum foil. How to test for doneness- give the loaf a light tap. If it sounds hollow, it's done. For a more accurate test, the bread is done when an instant read thermometer reads the center of the loaf as 195°F-200°F (90°C-93°C).
  • Remove from the oven and allow bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Feel free to let it cool completely before slicing, too.
  • Cover leftover bread tightly and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
