Time 3h

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup warm water
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tablespoons active dry yeast
3 ½ cups warm water
½ cup honey
½ cup molasses
½ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 eggs, beaten
9 cups sifted whole wheat flour
½ cup ground flax seed
1 cup quick cooking oats
½ cup sunflower seeds
¾ cup cracked wheat
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Stir together the 1/2 cup water and applesauce in a small bowl. Dissolve the yeast in the mixture, let stand until creamy, about 5 minutes. Pour the yeast mixture into a large bowl with 3 1/2 cups of warm water, honey, molasses, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and eggs; stir together to combine well.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, flax seed, sunflower seeds, cracked wheat, and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the yeast mixture until a smooth dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Lightly grease four 9x5 inch loaf pans. Punch down dough, shape into loaves, and place in the pans. Allow to rise in pans until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until the loaves sound hollow when removed from the pan and tapped on the bottom.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Flour: Use high-quality whole wheat flour for the best flavor and texture. You can also mix whole wheat flour with other flours, such as white flour, to create a blend that suits your taste.
  • Activate the Yeast: Before adding the yeast to the dough, activate it by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. This will help ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a good rise in the bread.
  • Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps create a smooth, elastic texture. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help the bread develop its full flavor and texture.
  • Bake the Bread Properly: Bake the bread in a preheated oven at the correct temperature. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the bread, so be sure to check the recipe for specific instructions.
  • Cool the Bread Before Slicing: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling and will also allow the flavors to develop fully.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and the right ingredients, you can easily make delicious and nutritious whole wheat seed bread at home. Experiment with different types of seeds and flours to create your own unique variations. Whole wheat seed bread is a great way to enjoy the benefits of whole grains and seeds, and it makes a delicious and healthy addition to any meal.
