About the Recipe

This is my favorite iteration of multigrain bread. The process for making the bread is basically the same as with the other bread recipes in this blog. In this recipe, I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast. Instant yeast is added directly into the flour and does not require proofing. In addition, it rises faster than traditional yeast. You can use instant yeast with any of the bread or pizza dough recipes in this blog.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of all-purpose or bread flour + 1 or 2 cups for second kneads

  • 1 cup of whole wheat flour

  • 3 ¼ cups of warm water

  • 20 grams of instant dry yeast

  • ¼ cup of quick oats

  • 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds

  • 1 tablespoon of whole flax seeds

  • ¼ cup lightly chopped sunflowers seeds

  • ¼ cup chopped pumpkin seeds

  • ¼ cup chopped pistachio nuts

  • 2 teaspoons of black sesame seeds

  • 2 teaspoons of white sesame seeds

  • 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening or butter

  • 3 tablespoons of hulled millet
