I have been craving this multigrain bread for a couple of weeks now and I just didn't take the time to make it until last weekend. It is really good and totally worth the effort that goes into baking it.
Multigrain Bread
1 ¼ cups 10 grain cereal 4 Tablespoons honey
2 ½ cups boiling water 4 Tablespoons butter
3 cups bread flour 2 ½ teaspoons yeast
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour 1 Tablespoon salt
Place cereal in mixer bowl and pour boiling water over it.
Cool for an hour – stirring occasionally.
Add honey, melted butter and yeast.
Combine flours.
Add ½ cup of flour at a time while mixing on low. Knead until dough forms a ball.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
Add salt and knead for 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Spray two loaf pans and divide dough in half. Shape each into a loaf and put in loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30-40 minutes.
Spray the top with pam and sprinkle the top with oatmeal.
The smell of this brad baking in the oven was incredible. Luckily for me, I was pretty tired so I resisted the urge to slice into the piping hot loaf. I put the loaves on wire racks to cool and went to bed instead.
I put the second loaf of bread in the freezer to save for later. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and then in foil.
It will take some time to put this bread together but it is so worth it. It's really good - this one's going under my favorites category.
Ciao!
