Grain bread

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake grain bread? First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Use premium wheat flour. You can replace carbonated mineral water with non-carbonated or regular one. You can replace fresh yeast with dry yeast at a ratio of 3:1, that is, you will need 3-4 g of dry yeast.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grind the rye and barley grains in a coffee grinder into fine grains, but not to the point of flour. If it is not possible to purchase grains, you can replace them with an instant multigrain porridge mixture.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the wheat flour into a bowl. Add crumbled yeast and stir. If you use dry yeast, you need one that is added directly to the flour, so read the instructions carefully.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a bowl, mix rye flour, ground rye and barley, 20 g of sunflower seeds and flax seeds.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour in sparkling mineral water at room temperature. Add salt, sugar, sour cream and stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add half of the flour ground with yeast and mix. You will get a viscous sticky mass.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the dough with a towel and leave it warm to rise for about 1 hour. The dough will rise 2-3 times in volume, become fluffy and airy.

8. STEP 8

   

   Mix the remaining flour into the dough and knead into a soft, homogeneous dough. The rye flour will make it sticky, so don't rush to add extra flour to the dough - the finished bread will be tough and tasteless.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, use oiled hands to divide the dough into 4 equal portions.

10. STEP 10

    

    Shape each piece into a log and roll in the remaining sunflower seeds.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the pieces of dough in a rectangular pan (mine is 22x11 cm) lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil, tightly next to each other.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover with a towel and leave warm for 25-30 minutes to rise. Bake grain bread in an oven preheated to 190°C for about 40 minutes. The exact baking time depends on the characteristics of your oven. Bon appetit!

I wanted to bake grain bread, it looks very appetizing. Prepared all the necessary ingredients. I crushed the rye and barley and started preparing the dough. I diluted fresh yeast in warm water and then mixed it with the dry ingredients. I didn't add salt, it slows down the process. The dough rose in 20 minutes. I started kneading the dough, and now I added salt. I was unable to place the pieces of dough into the mold as evenly as the author of the recipe did. But the bread still turned out magical. Thanks to the author, this is now my favorite bread recipe!
