Categories     Diabetes-Friendly Bread Recipes

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 to 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup seven-grain cereal
1 package active dry yeast
⅔ cup water
⅓ cup applesauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg or 1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed
1 ¾ cups whole-wheat flour
⅓ cup shelled sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl stir together 3/4 cup of the all-purpose flour, the cereal, and yeast; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan combine the water, applesauce, honey, and salt; heat and stir just until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F). Add applesauce mixture and egg to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping side of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the whole wheat flour, sunflower seeds, and as much of the remaining all-purpose flour as you can.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once to grease surface of dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
  • Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Lightly grease an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.
  • Shape dough into loaf. Place in prepared pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double (30 to 45 minutes).
  • Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. (If necessary to prevent over browning, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.) Immediately remove bread from pan. Cool on a wire rack.

WHOLE-GRAIN BREAD



Whole-Grain Bread image

Sub processed flour with whole grains and you can indulge in bread again -- guilt free.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole-wheat flour, preferably stone-ground
2 tablespoons wheat bran
3/4 cup warm whole milk (about 110 degrees)
1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 envelopes active dry yeast (1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons coarse whole-grain cornmeal
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons old-fashioned oats
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed, plus 1 teaspoon whole for sprinkling
2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 to 3 cups bread flour
Olive oil, cooking spray

Steps:

  • Stir whole-wheat flour, bran, and 1 cup water in a bowl. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Stir milk and 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir in yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Put whole-wheat flour mixture, milk mixture, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, the cornmeal, 3 tablespoons oats, the ground flaxseed, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix on medium-low speed until combined. Add 2 1/2 cups bread flour; mix until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 2 minutes (if dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time). Continue kneading until dough is soft and elastic, about 5 minutes more.
  • Coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Add dough to bowl; turn to coat. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour (or refrigerate overnight; bring to room temperature).
  • Turn out dough onto a work surface; shape into a loaf about 9 inches long. Using a spray bottle, mist with water; sprinkle top with remaining 2 teaspoons oats and the whole flaxseed. Coat a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Transfer loaf to the pan, and cover lightly with the plastic wrap. Let stand until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mist oven with water; place loaf in oven. Bake 5 minutes; mist oven again. Continue to bake, rotating pan once, until well browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Unmold bread onto a wire rack; return to oven, and bake directly on oven rack 5 minutes more. Remove from oven; let cool completely on rack.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: A blend of whole wheat flour, white flour, and rye flour is recommended for a hearty and flavorful bread. You can also add other grains like oats, barley, or flaxseed for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Activate the yeast: Always check the expiration date on your yeast to ensure its freshness. To activate dry yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough. For active dry yeast, proof it in warm water for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on, or in a sunny spot in your kitchen. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, which usually takes about 1-2 hours.
  • Shape the dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two or three equal pieces. Shape the pieces into loaves or rolls, and place them in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe. Bake the bread for the recommended time, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  • Let the bread cool: Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Homemade 7-grain bread is a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. With a variety of grains, seeds, and nuts, this bread is packed with flavor and texture. The sourdough starter adds a tangy flavor and helps to keep the bread fresh for longer. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying bread, give this 7-grain homemade bread a try!
