Multigrain Seeded Loaf
Adapted from Cook Smart For A Healthy Heart, Reader's Digest Canada
Makes 1 boule, 18 slices
3 ½ cups whole-wheat bread flour (I used Red Fife heritage wheat flour)¾ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup polenta (coarse cornmeal)
¼ cup amaranth
¼ cup millet
¼ cup teff
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tbsp honey
2 cups warm water
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp flaxseeds
- Combine the flours, polenta, amaranth, millet, teff and yeast in a large bowl.
- Mix the honey and water and add to the flour mixture, stirring to form a shaggy dough. Cover and let autolyze 15 minutes.
- Add the oil and salt and knead 8-10 minutes, until gluten begins to develop, adding water if necessary to form a soft but not overly sticky dough.
- Add the seeds and knead 5 minutes longer.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise 1 - 1 ½ hours, until doubled.
- Punch down and shape into a boule. Place, seam side up, in a proofing basket or large bowl.
- Cover and let rise 30 -40 minutes, until well risen.
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF (with a baking stone if you have one). Turn the dough out onto a parchment-lined, unrimmed baking sheet and slash with a sharp knife.
- Transfer the loaf with the parchment to the stone or place the sheet pan in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 400ºF and bake for a further 15–20 minutes, until the loaf is golden-brown and sounds hollow when removed from the sheet and tapped on the base.
- Cool on a wire rack.
