Nutritious Four Grain Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
I’m sure a lot of us overindulged during the holidays. But not to worry! Here is a recipe to help with your new year’s resolutions. A nutritious and delicious multi grain whole wheat bread. This whole wheat (or wholemeal as we call it here in the UK) bread is packed full of nutritious grains and seeds. Oats, cornmeal, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and more. You can adjust this recipe to suit your taste. Simply swap the seeds for your favourites. The grains can be adjusted too. The addition of olive oil gives the bread a slight richness.
There are a couple of techniques that make this bread special. One of them being the use of a soaker. A soaker is made by mixing seeds and/or grains with water and letting them absorb the liquid and hydrate. This helps with softening the grains and seeds making them gentler on your teeth. But it also helps us increase the dough hydration and that in turn makes the baked loaf stay softer and moister for longer.
Another technique here is cold bulk fermentation. The dough is fermented in the refrigerator for up to 18 hours. It develops a more pronounced flavour and slight acidity also improving the bread’s keeping quality. During a long proof the flour and the grains can absorb the water even more making the dough easier to handle and bake.
Cold proofing is a great method for baking on a busy schedule as you can leave the dough in the fridge and continue when you have time to do so.
