Best 6 Hearty Multi Grain Multi Seeded Bread Recipes

MULTIGRAIN SEEDED BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt. In another bowl, mix the seeds with the oats.
• In a saucepan, combine the water and molasses and warm the mixture over low heat until a thermometer reads 120 to 130 degrees F (50 to 55 degrees C) .
• Add the liquid to the flour mixture with the egg white. Mix together until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes; then shape into a ball. Lightly oil a large stainless steel bowl. Add the dough and turn to cover the dough with the oil. Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours until doubled in size.
• When the dough has risen, punch the dough down with your fists and add all but 2 Tablespoons of the seed mixture working it into the dough. Reserve the 2 Tablespoons of seed mixture for the topping. Shape the dough into a loaf by rolling it into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle and then roll up by its shortest end. Pinch the ends together and tuck underneath. Place in a non-stick 9x5 inch loaf pan with the seam underneath. Cover the loaf pan with a tea towel and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush the top of the loaf with milk and sprinkle on the reserved seed mixture. Bake the bread for 30 minutes or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove the bread from the pan and let cool completely.

• 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.

HEALTHY MULTIGRAIN AND SEED BREAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together (I use my KitchenAid mixer) until a slightly sticky ball forms. You may not need the full amount of water. If you don't buy yeast in bulk, you can use one full package yeast.
• Place in a clean oiled (I use nonstick spray) covered bowl to rise for one hour. While mixing the dough I preheat the oven to @ 200, turn it off and let the bread rise there.
• Form into a loaf, put in 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 oiled (or nonstick sprayed) loaf pan and put in a warm dry place to rise once more for up to 1 1/2 hours. Allow the bread to rise until it crowns above the top edge of the pan. Be careful not to let it rise too much or it will deflate some while cooking.
• Remove the cover, and cook at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes. I let the bread stay in the oven while it preheats.
• ** You can experiment with different flours based on what you have in your pantry.
• ** Try adding different seed combinations or pine nuts -- yum.

FLUFFY MULTI-GRAIN BREAD

• Add flax, sunflower seeds, and nuts.
• Continue mixing till dough cleans the sides of the mixing bowl (you may have to add a bit more flour).
• Remove from mixer and place on floured bread board.
• Knead 5 minutes.
• Clean mixer bowl.
• Add 2 T. vegetable oil to clean bowl, tipping so that oil covers the bottom and part-way up the sides of the bowl.
• Place dough in bowl, then flip it over so that oiled side is on top.
• Turn on your oven light (this provides the warmth to proof your dough.
• Place bowl in the oven. Close the door.
• Let rise till double (about 1 hour).
• Remove from oven (leave the light on and re-close the door).
• Place on floured bread board.
• Separate in two pieces.
• Knead each piece 5 minutes.
• Form each into a cylinder, to fit the loaf pan.
• Oil 2 loaf pans.

MULTISEEDED MULTIGRAIN BREAD OR ROLLS

Steps:

• Put bulgur in a large bowl and pour warm water over top. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften.
• Sprinkle yeast on top and let stand another 15 minutes until the yeast is foamy, then stir.
• To the yeast mixture, add honey, oil, pecans, sunflower seeds, sesame and poppy seeds, salt, and 1-1/2 cups flour. Beat on low speed of an electric mixer. Add remaining flour slowly. (my mixer isn't strong enough for this, so I do it while kneading).
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and springs back.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat, and cover with parchment paper and a tea towel. Put the bowl in a warm, draft free place to rise for 2 hours. I warm up the oven for a few minutes and do my rising in there.
• Punch the dough down. You can have either 2 loaves, baked in 8-1/2 x 4 loaf pans which have been lightly greased, or 16 rolls. For the bread 'rounds' as show in the photo: form the dough into a cylinder, and cut into 1" slices. After you have divided your dough, loosely cover with parchment paper and let rise again for a further 45 minutes. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake at 375*. Bread will take about 35 - 40 minutes, rolls and rounds about 20.
• NOTE: This is an adapted version of Robin Hoods 'Multiseed Bread'. The original called for walnuts, a half cup each of sunflower and pumpkin seeds, and whole wheat flour.
