Here is the bread recipe for the 7-Grain Bread or “Going with the Grain Bread Recipe”. Be sure to include this recipe if you plan to give the 7-Grain Bread Mix as a gift. Otherwise, the recipient won’t know how to make it. That would be like giving a toy without the batteries – not a good thing.
I decided to make this bread before I gave the mix away in case I didn’t like it for some reason. Makes sense, right? Well, let me tell you, I was not disappointed. This bread is wonderful! It’s very healthy and delicious and easy to make! The bread takes a couple of days to make from start to finish, but before you go getting huffy on me, let me explain that most of the time is spent fermenting on the counter and in the refrigerator. The recipe is really easy! Really! I mean it!
The bread has a crusty outside and a chewy inside with a somewhat nutty flavor. The recipe for the bread and bread mix is from Kneadlessly Simple by Nancy Baggett. The recipe is also featured on the Fleishmann Yeast site.
Here’s how you make it!
Going with The Grain Bread Recipe
Use the 7-Grain Bread Mix to make this healthy bread.
Makes: 1 large loaf, 12-14 slices
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Proof Time: 16 to 32 hours
Bake Time: 60 to 75 minutes
- 1 teaspoon yeast (measured out from enclosed envelope)
- Cornmeal-seed mixture for garnish (from the enclosed bag)
- 1 jar Going with the Grain Mix
- Scant 2 cups ice water (add ice cubes to cold water and stir for 30 seconds before measuring), plus more if needed
- About 1 ½ tablespoons corn oil, canola oil, or other flavorless oil for coating pan and dough top
Directions:
FIRST RISE:
Remove the yeast envelope and cornmeal-seed package (used for garnish) from the jar. In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together the jar of mix and 1 teaspoon of the yeast.
Vigorously stir the ice water into the dry mix, scraping down the bowl sides and stirring until completely blended. If the dough is too dry to mix, gradually stir in just enough more ice water to blend the mixture; the dough should be stiff.
