Hearty Multi-Grain Bread

Adapted from Hearty Multigrain Bread (a custom version) on Allrecipes

This competes with the flax and walnut bread for my favorite multigrain bread.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp. nonfat dry milk
• (the above two can be replaced with 1 1/4 c. skim milk--if I am doing this on time delay, I use the water and dry milk)
• 2 tablespoons walnut oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• .5 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• .5 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds ground
• 1 tablespoon millet
• 1 tablespoon quinoa
• • 1 tablespoon quinoa flakes
• 2 tablespoon rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon barley flakes
• 2 tbsp. walnuts crushed
• 2 tbsp. wheat germ
• 1/4 cup molasses (1 tbsp. of this I use blackstrap molasses)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 1/2 cup bread flour
• 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 2.25 tsp bread machine yeast

Directions

1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select cycle; press Start. This can be done on the dough setting and baked in a more country/focaccia like loaf, or cooked fully through in the bread machine.

Honey Wheat Sandwich Rolls

Honey Wheat Sandwich Rolls adapted from this Allrecipes recipe

I copied the nutrition facts from the original recipe -- my amendments should have even less fat, saturated fat and more fiber. They are soft and delicious, and reasonably healthy. I am not watching saturated fat or cholesterol, so I don't mind the egg since it provides good protein.

I made them into 12 rolls, and I think they were too big. Maybe would do 16 next time. Original recipe calls for 14.

• 1 1/4 cups warm milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons brummel and brown, softened
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups bread flour
• 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
• More brummel and brown for spreading.

Directions

1. Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press start.
2. When dough cycle has finished, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into desired number of balls (12 makes for large buns -- I would try 16 next time). Use your hands to shape the divided pieces into balls and sort of flatten them (the original recipe said roll dough to 3/4 in thickness). Place on lightly greased cookie sheets (used a butter flavored pam); cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When rolls are finished baking, brush with melted butter.

Flax and Walnut Bread

I really like this bread. A nutty wheat bread with good flavor.

Apple-Cinnamon Granola Bread

This bread has a very good flavor, and is very dense as are most breads with this much whole wheat. However, it is not as good as other multi-grain recipes I have tried, because there are no nutty/chewy bits to go along with the generally dense texture of the bread.

Adapted from The Bread Machine Collection (2001)

1.5 lb Loaf

1 c. water

1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce

1 tbsp. walnut oil (or olive or canola oil)

3/4 tsp. salt

2 1/4 c. whole wheat flour

1 1/4 c. bread flour

3/4 c. granola

1/3 c. nonfat dry milk powder

4 tsp. packed brown sugar

3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. vanilla

1.5 tsp. bread machine yeast

Place all ingredients in the bread maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Bake on the whole wheat, lightest crust setting.
