Description
This is a copycat recipe for Dave’s Killer Bread, a nutritious and delicious whole grain bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups warm water
- 3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup amaranth flour
- 1/4 cup spelt flour
- 1/4 cup kamut flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 2 teaspoons dry unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon quinoa
- 1 tablespoon wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons dry unsalted sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons old fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- Add yeast to the stand mixer bowl and warm water. Let sit for 3-5 minutes until activated and foamy.
- Mix flours and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix seeds, quinoa, wheat germ, and oats.
- Add honey and molasses, mix, and let sit for one minute.
- Slowly add flours and salt. Mix on medium until a sticky dough forms. Add seeds and mix until incorporated.
- Remove dough from mixer. On a lightly floured surface, knead for at least 15 minutes until dough softens.
- Conduct the windowpane test to check gluten activation.
- Add dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled – about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease a 9 X 5 loaf pan.
- Punch down the dough, flatten, fold in sides, and roll into a log. Place in loaf pan, seam side down.
- Cover the pan with plastic and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use a granite or marble surface for kneading.
- Do not add too much flour while kneading.
- For best results, use a plastic bag to allow dough to rise over the pan.
