Homemade multigrain bread

If you have read any of my blogs, you know I am constantly taking recipes and adding my own twist.  Well, after much trial and error, I have found a great dough recipes that I use as a base and make my additions per my mood.

Today I felt like multigrain bread.  I try to keep my pantry stocked with gains, like cracked wheat, flax seed, spelt, oatmeal, and  my favorite hemp hearts.  Love them, they are packed with nutrients and add a nice flavor and crunch to many recipes.

Here is what I did:

1 cup warm water

2 teaspoons dry yeast ( I never use rapid)

1 tablespoon raw honey

Mix together and proof for 10 to 15 minutes until frothy.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil (olive, walnut, safflower, grapeseed, whatever)

1 and a half cups organic bread flour

a half cup hemp hearts

a half cup cracked wheat

a quarter cup whole oats, not instant

salt

Add yeast mixture to food processor or if you are lucky enough to own a kitchen aid, use that

Gradually add flour mixture until all is incorporated and soft ball forms.

Knead slightly and let sit in oiled bowl covered with plastic wrap until doubled, about 1 hour

Punch down and form into loaf (loaves), place on corn  meal covered pan and cover with plastic wrap about half hour or until doubled.

Bake 450 for about 15 to 2 minutes, depending on size  of loaves and or  until browned and cooked through.

Fabulous.
