Kitchen Confections Part II

Multi-grain bread. Hearty, healthy, and wholesome. And, delicious. I used this recipe as a base and then tweaked it with ingredients I had on hand. Below is the recipe including the changes I made. I also don't have a bread machine, so I used my mixer and let it rise in the bowl. It came out wonderful and was great as sandwich bread.

• Ingredients
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon butter, softened

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, chopped
• 1 tablespoon quinoa
• 1 tablespoon pepitas, chopped
• 1/2 cup coarsely ground oats
• 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
• 2 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

1. Combine warm water , yeast and honey in bowl of mixer. Let proof until bubbly, about 10 minutes

2. Add remaining ingredients and knead in mixer for 8 minutes, until dough comes together and is not sticky, add more flour as needed.

3. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let dough rise until double, about one hour.

4. Grease a bread pan. Punch down dough and form into a loaf. Place loaf in prepared pan, let rise until double, 30 min.to 1 hour.

5. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 30-45 minutes, until top of loaf makes a hollow sound when tapped with knuckles. Remove from oven. Let cool about 10 minutes then remove from pan.
