You’ll also need to cook the wheat berries. They cook like rice and take about 30 minutes. I like to do this the night before so they are cooled when it’s time to mix the dough.

The entire process takes about 3 hours, although Your time may vary slightly depending on the temperature of your kitchen, and the time of year. I usually start in the morning and have fresh bread ready in the early afternoon. Here is how the time breaks down:

You will need to buy a few supplies to get started. Don’t be put off by the initial investment. While it’s true that it is a little pricy to get all the ingredients, they will last a long time. So if you plan on making this bread regularly, then the real savings come over time.

100% Whole White Wheat Flour– I like this Wheat Montana brand. Look for organic, non-GMO winter wheat. If you use stone-ground wheat it will not have the same texture as Dave’s Killer Bread does. You need whole white wheat for this recipe.

Gerbs Raw Super 5 Seed Mix– This is a good price for a seed blend. When I was testing the recipe I bought each seed variety separately. That can get very expensive. While this variety doesn’t have sesame seeds, it’s a good alternative.

5 Grain Rolled Cereal– These look like rolled oats, but the blend has a good variety of grains. It is more cost-effective to buy the blend rather than each type individually.

Vitamin C 500 mg capsule– Any variety will work here. Just be sure to crush it before adding it to the dough.

To get the most authentic taste and texture from this loaf I’ve incorporated several artisan bread baker techniques. I’ll explain each one and what it does for the bread dough.

Soaking the wheat flour with vinegar for 12 hours-Soaking the flour for at least 12 hours in an acidic medium activates phytase, which is a chemical present in wheat.

Improving the gluten strength with Vitamin C-Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It works as a natural dough conditioner to strengthen the gluten. This creates more volume in the loaf, and a fine and even crumb.

The addition of Vital Wheat gluten-Since this dough has so many nuts and seeds they can weaken the gluten strands. The vital wheat gluten helps to strengthen the gluten even more.

If you’re in the mood for something healthy to serve with soup or salad, just shape these into balls, and roll in the seed topping. I like to bake them on a pie plate, but you can also place them in an oiled muffin pan or on a cookie sheet.

@david, To clarify, I can set a specific temperature, so I am not looking for a range, but a specific temp setting for the proofing oven.

Yes! It's completely fine to hand knead this dough. Since the flour has been soaked, it doesn't require as much kneading.

My deep love for all things gluten is pretty evident by all of thebreadwe make (and eat) in this house. From our Vietnamese Baguette, Dan's Como Bread, No Knead Rosemary Garlic Bread, No Knead NY Deli Rye, and the latest, Whole Wheat Honey Oat Bread, suffice to say we love homemade bread in this house. But we also want to ensure that we're still getting all the same nutrition that I was obsessed with while preggo with both the girls. I'm still nursing our littlest babe and I am a firm believer that what I eat 100% matters to as by way of my milk, I'm setting down fundamental building blocks to good nutrition to this tiny human. Therefore, I want all the nutritional bang for the buck I can get in my food.There's no denying how nutritious Dave's Killer Bread is. The 21 Whole Grains and Seeds is one of my (and M's) favorites. So naturally, I wanted to figure out how to make it from scratch!From scratch, but still packing as much of nutritional punch as possible.

Whole wheat flour. Kamut flour. Amaranth flour. And finally, spelt flour. Ok ok, if you're keeping track, that's only 14 whole grains and seeds. But it gets to a point where if the ingredient list becomes so insane you're going to be spending way more $ on the copycat than the the original.

Now I'm a pretty self proclaimed lazy baker. Hence all of my no knead breads. This bread though, this bread takes some work. Once you've activated your yeast, added your flours and then all of the seeds, you're going to have a super sticky dough. Which is good. It's what you want. It's what you
