Wholemeal Buckwheat Bread Recipes

BUCKWHEAT OAT WHOLE WHEAT BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Warm the water in the microwave--it shouldn't be so hot you can't stick your finger in it. Add the other wet ingredients and set aside while you assemble the dry ingredients.
• 2. Combine dry ingredients.
• 3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, knead by mixer approximately 4 minutes.
• 4. Form dough into a ball and cover with a towel. Let rise 40 minutes in a warm spot.
• 5. Shape dough into a loaf and place in a loaf pan that's been sprayed with oil or nonstick spray. Cover with a towel.
• 6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees while the loaf rises for 25 minutes.
• 7. Bake loaf at 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Then turn oven off and let loaf continue to sit in the oven another 10 minutes.
• 8. Remove from oven, remove loaf from pan, and put on a cooling rack.

WHOLE WHEAT, BUCKWHEAT AND WALNUT BREAD

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine all the flours and add the other dry ingredients: walnuts, raisins, yeast and salt. Mix well. Add all the liquid ingredients: water, orange juice, olive oil and mix well with a fork until the dough becomes too stiff to continue.
• I used the bowl from my stand mixer, so I put the bowl on the stand and ran it with dough hooks for about 5 minutes. You can also knead the dough.
• Place the dough in a bowl at least twice the volume of the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, put in a warm place and let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until it's about double in bulk.
• Punch the dough down, separate into 2 parts, and put into greased loaf pans (each about 9" by 4 1/2"). Cover each with plastic wrap, put in a warm place and allow to rise for an hour.
• Heat your oven to 375°F (Please note that oven temperatures are not always precise; yours may need 400° F for example).
• Make 3 diagonal slashes across the top of each loaf, then brush cold water on the top each loaf.
• Place in oven and bake for 40 minutes.
• Allow the loaves to cool a bit before removing from the loaf pans.
• You can be sure the bread is done if it sounds hollow when you tap on the bottom of the loaf. If you don't think it's done give it another 5 minutes on the rack.
• Please note that the prep time does not include rising time (2 1/2 -3 hours).
