Yield Makes one 8"-diameter loaf

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup millet
1/4 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons amaranth
1 cup old-fashioned oats, plus more for topping
2 1/4 cups buttermilk, divided, plus more for brushing
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for pan
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons flaxseed
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, plus more for topping
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons brown rice syrup or mild-flavored (light) molasses

Steps:

  • Mix millet, quinoa, amaranth, 1 cup oats, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl. Cover and let sit 8-12 hours. (Alternatively, bring ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let sit until mixture is thick like porridge, about 2 hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8"-diameter cast-iron skillet or cake pan. Whisk whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flaxseed, salt, baking soda, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Work in butter with your fingers until largest pieces are pea-size. Make a well in the center and add brown rice syrup, oat mixture, remaining 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough is smooth, homogenous, and still slightly sticky.
  • Form dough into a ball and place in prepared pan. Brush with buttermilk; top with more oats and sunflower seeds. Cut a large X into the top and bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loaf registers 190°F, 55-70 minutes. Let cool in pan.
  • Do ahead
  • Bread can be baked 2 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

SEEDED WHOLE GRAIN LOAF



Seeded Whole Grain Loaf image

My husband and I want whole grain bread, but we don't like the spongy store-bought whole wheat breads. I drastically altered one of my favorite batter bread recipes to create this earthy bread. It is crunchy, chewy and easy. The add-ins are just suggestions. Sometimes I use pepitas, sesame seeds or even 1/4 cup of a multi-grain hot cereal mix. -Amber Rife, Columbus, Ohio

Yield 10 , 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds
3 tablespoons flax seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cups white whole wheat flour (I used rye flour and it was still wonderful)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup avocado oil or 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons spure maple syrup

  • Combine sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, and sesame seeds in a dry medium skillet. Toast over medium heat, stirring until lightly brown and starting to pop 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of the seed mixture in a small bowl and transfer the remaining seeds to a large bowl.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the large bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Whisk eggs in a medium bowl, then stir in buttermilk, oats, oil, and honey or maple syrup.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir and fold together until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved seeds.
  • Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Make our easy yeast-free, wholemeal loaf, which requires no kneading or proving. We've used vegan-friendly oat milk, but you can use ordinary milk if you prefer

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Side dish

Time 45m

Yield Cuts into 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

520g plain wholemeal flour, plus extra for dusting
50g four-seed mix (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and golden flax seeds), plus extra for sprinkling
1½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
400ml fortified oat milk
2 tbsp lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the flour, seeds and bicarb in a bowl, then mix together the milk and lemon juice in a small jug and pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir with a knife until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough.
  • Tip onto a lightly floured work surface and lightly shape into a ball with wet or floured hands, as it will be sticky to handle. Lift onto a floured baking tray, reshape if required, then sprinkle more seeds over the top and press them in lightly. Bake for 35-40 mins until firm and golden. Cool on a wire rack, then wrap in foil until needed. Will keep chilled for up to four days, or frozen for up to a month.

SEEDED WHOLEMEAL SODA BREAD

Shop-bought bread can be loaded with salt, sugar and preservatives, so try making your own for a healthier loaf. It takes only 10 minutes to prepare

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Lunch

Time 40m

Yield Cuts into 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

450g wholemeal flour , plus extra for dusting
75g four-seed mix (sesame, sunflower, golden linseed and pumpkin)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp black treacle
150ml pot natural bio yogurt , made up to 450ml with water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the flour, seeds, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Stir the treacle into the yogurt mixture and, when the treacle dissolves, pour onto the dry ingredients. Stir together with the blade of a knife until you have a soft, sticky dough. Leave for 5 mins (this allows time for the liquid to absorb into the bran).
  • Tip onto a lightly floured surface and form the dough into a round about 18cm across. It will still be very sticky, so don't over-handle it - treat it like scone dough rather than bread dough. Lift onto the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 mins until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath.

Tips for Making Seeded Whole Grain Soda Bread:

  • Use a variety of seeds: This will give your soda bread a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include sunflower seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and chia seeds.
  • Soak the seeds before using: This will help to soften them and make them easier to digest.
  • Use whole grain flour: This will give your soda bread a more hearty flavor and texture. You can use all whole grain flour or a mixture of whole grain and all-purpose flour.
  • Don't over-mix the dough: Over-mixing will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rest before baking: This will allow the gluten to develop and will make the bread more flavorful.
  • Bake the bread in a hot oven: This will help to create a crusty exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Seeded whole grain soda bread is a delicious and healthy bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give seeded whole grain soda bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
