Freshly baked hearty multigrain bread

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup mixed seeds (like sunflower, flax, and pumpkin)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, honey (or maple syrup), and yeast. Let this mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture, and then gradually mix in the whole wheat flour, oatmeal, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until a dough starts to form.
  3. Add the mixed seeds and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased bread pan and cover again. Allow it to rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, pop it into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your homemade hearty multigrain bread fresh out of the oven, or toasted with your favorite toppings. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience you’ll want to repeat again and again!
