SOURDOUGH THREE GRAIN BREAD (ABM)



Sourdough Three Grain Bread (ABM) image

I was inspired by Donna M's #32194, which I love dearly to create a bread with additional grains which would please my DH & DS, who love multi grain bread. So using her recipe as a guide this is the bread I created today. It turned out a beautiful loaf and was enjoyed by my men. I have to admit for someone who usually isn't fond of multi grain bread I found it pretty tasty too. I used flax seed meal as one of my grains because I heard from a doctor that flax seed is one of the most healthy grains we should be using. It takes so little to have big health advantages as well.

Categories     Breads

Time 50m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 cups proofed sourdough starter
1 cup evaporated milk
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 -3 1/2 cups white bread flour
2 tablespoons white bread flour
1/4 cup rolled wheat flakes
2 tablespoons whole ground flax seed meal
1/3 cup rolled oatmeal
1/4 cup potato flakes

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in your bread machine in the order recommended by the instructions of your machine.
  • Select the dough cycle and start.
  • Listen for the end of the first kneading.
  • Do not let it raise in the machine since most sourdough breads especially those using wild yeast since they raise best if only raised once.
  • As you take out the dough spray it lightly with a spray oil product to assist in the handling since the dough will be soft.
  • Shape into desired shape.
  • Let raise until double in size.
  • (Sourdough breads usually take 3 to 4 hours to rise if they don't have added yeast.).
  • If using a metal loaf pan grease well.
  • If using a stoneware loaf pan lightly spray with spray oil then sprinkle sides and bottom with cornmeal.
  • If using a round stone simply sprinkle with cornmeal.
  • Bake 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove immediately from pan, lightly baste top of bread with butter or margarine and cool on a rack before slicing or slice with an electric knife which works well on hot bread.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your bread will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Pay Attention to the Water Temperature: The temperature of the water you use to activate the yeast is important. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. If the water is too cold, the yeast will not activate properly.
  • Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
  • Bake the Bread in a Preheated Oven: Preheat your oven to the desired temperature before you put the bread in. This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Let the Bread Cool Completely Before Slicing: Once the bread is baked, let it cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Three-grain bread is a delicious and healthy alternative to white bread. It is packed with nutrients and fiber, and it has a slightly nutty flavor. This bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying on its own. With these tips, you can easily make your own three-grain bread at home. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
