HARVEST GRAIN BLEND FOR BREAD
I was inspired by the Harvest Grain Blend that King Arthur Flour sells, but being in Canada, the cost of shipping is prohibitive enough to make me come up with my own version. Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup to your favourite bread for extra crunch, flavour, and nutrition! I suggest replacing 2 tbsp of each cup of flour with the mixture as a starting point. I've also added some barley flakes and 7 grain cereal to my mix. Store in a tightly sealed container. Another way to use the mix is to make a "soaker", which you do by pouring 1 cup of hot water over 2/3 cup of the mix, and allowing it to soak overnight. Then add this to your bread mix, ensuring to subtract out the 1 cup of water and 2/3 cup of flour from the recipe you're working with.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together. Store in tightly sealed container.
- To use, substitute mix flour, using 2 tbsp per 1 cup of flour. To use soaked (which will make it less crunchy, and more chewy), add 1 cup hot water to 2/3 cup of the mix, and allow to sit, covered overnight. Ensure when adding to your flour mix to subtract the water and mix from your recipe's water and flour.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Grains: Select grains that work well together in terms of flavor and texture. Common choices include wheat, barley, oats, rye, and corn.
- Soak the Grains: Soaking the grains overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. This step is especially important for grains like barley and rye.
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot helps to distribute heat evenly and prevent the grains from scorching.
- Add Aromatics: Aromatics like onions, garlic, and herbs add flavor to the grain blend. Sauté them in a little butter or oil before adding the grains.
- Cook the Grains: Add the grains and water to the pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the grains are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of grains used.
- Let the Grains Cool: Once the grains are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before using them in your recipe. This will help to prevent the grains from becoming mushy.
Conclusion:
Harvest grain blends are a delicious and versatile way to add nutrition and flavor to your meals. They can be used in a variety of dishes, from salads and soups to pilafs and casseroles. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create your own custom harvest grain blend that suits your taste and dietary needs. Experiment with different grains, flavors, and textures to create a blend that is uniquely yours.
