Multigrain Bread Recipe

Multigrain Bread Recipe

This honey-sweetened multigrain bread recipe is a great way to add plenty of fibre to your diet. Perfect for picnic sandwiches!


Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
1 tsp. (5 ml) lemon juice
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. (7 ml) salt
2 Tbsp. (30 ml)vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. (30 ml) liquid honey
2 cups (500 ml) flour
1 cup (250 ml) whole wheat flour
1/4 cup (50 ml) quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup (50 ml) wheat bran or oat bran
2 Tbsp. (30 ml) wheat germ
1 Tbsp. (15 ml) ground flax seed
1 1/2 tsp. (7 ml) bread machine yeast

Bread Machine:

Measure ingredients into baking pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.

Select Basic Bread cycle or you may select the Dough cycle and bake a hearth style loaf in your oven (See below).

Bake at 375° F (190° C) for approx. 25-30 minutes.

Hearth Bread:

Select the dough cycle on your bread machine.

Remove the completed dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently form the dough into a large oval shape with a high, round top. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover (in a warm, draft-free place) and let rise until almost doubled in volume (about 30 minutes).

With a sharp knife, gently cut 3 diagonal slashes across the top of the risen loaf about 1/2 inch deep.

Extra seeds, oats or cracked wheat may be sprinkled on the top, as desired. Simply brush the dough with a little water, melted butter or oil before sprinkling seeds or oats.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes. (You know it is baked correctly if the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.)

This recipe makes excellent buns too! Form them into small oval shapes (3 inches long and about 1 inch high). Slash each bun lengthwise down the center about 1/2 inch deep. Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes.
