Years ago, I came across these ah-MAZING bagels at my local grocery store—chock full of nuts, seeds, and dried cranberries, they were hearty, lightly sweet, and utter perfection.
Just LOOK at all those whole grains—sesame seeds, quinoa, millet, cracked wheat, and flax meal. I LOVE that this bread is not only amazingly delicious, but also so freaking healthy.
My pleas to the bakery staff did no good. They had no control over which bagels were baked each day. But, they said, the same dough was baked into bread loaves, if I was interested in that.
Gluten Free Bread: The Ancient Grains And Honey Loaf — Tisha's Delicious Bakery
I was absolutely, most certainly interested, so I wheeled my cart over to the bakery breads in a hurry. But then I saw the price—almost $5 for a half loaf. HALF of a loaf. Something that might not even last one day in my household of six. Something that had the potential to leave me snarling things like “No bread for you!” to the rest of my family.
Since familial harmony is important to me, and I do like to share all the good foods with my kids (or, at least,
Of them…it’s possible I have a stash of really good dark chocolate that is Adult Only), I slowly and sadly wheeled away. *womp womp*
Organic Honey Whole Grain Bread Recipe
But then I realized…I could just make it myself. The bread version, not the bagels. I have yet to find a bagel recipe I love, and since bagels are a serious time commitment (and take up serious fridge real estate as well), I rarely make them. But bread? I bake bread every week. All I had to do was figure out a recipe that would result in this hearty, dense, slightly sweet breadalicious perfection.
Once it’s all mixed, sprinkle it with a little extra flour, knead it gently to bring it all together into a ball of dough.
Scouring my cookbooks, I came across a recipe in the Biggest Book of Bread Machine Recipes* that I could use as a starting point. (Once upon a time, I had a bread machine and it handled all of my bread making. This cookbook was a
Sourdough Multigrain Bread With Ancient Grains & Overnight Soaker
Resource because it is chock full of excellent recipes, and I especially loved the fact that they all required just one teaspoon of yeast rather than the usual 2 or more. The recipes can easily be made by hand, as well, you just have to figure out how hot and how long to bake them. I simply look up the time and temperature of similar handmade breads, and go with that.)
Only one rise for this dough. Shape it to fit in your pan, cover it, and let the magic* happen over the next 3 hours. (*Actually it’s science, but it feels awfully magical when it goes from this to that.)
Many tweaks later, I had a working recipe of a seriously delicious (and nutritious) hearty bread brimming with whole grains and dried cranberries. Suh-WOON. One of the sweetest parts? As soon as you’re done mixing the dough, it goes right into a greased and floured bread pan for just a single rise—no punching down and rising again.
Sprouted Wheat Buttermilk Sandwich Bread
And that may be the only drawback to this bread—it’s ridiculously difficult to stay out of it. That’s because it’s delicious any way you eat it—plain, toasted and buttered, cream cheesed, peanut buttered, etc. It’s the perfectly healthy alternative to satisfy a sweet craving with a whole lot less sugar (and a heck of a lot more whole grains, fiber, and protein) than those cookies and cakes you’re trying not to eat at this time of year. (Was that mean of me to link to our growing selection of scrumptious sweets? My bad.)
It does require a few unusual ingredients that you may need to stock up on before you bake. But, hey, it’s probably time for a grocery run anyway, right? And if your grocery store has a bulk foods section, you may find the millet, quinoa, cracked wheat (aka bulgur), sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds there, where you can buy the amount you want. Don’t be scared of the long ingredients list—trust me on this, you won’t regret it. I love me a short ingredients list like whoa, and will sometimes look at a long one and think
I mean, LOOK at all those goodies tucked in to this bread! Dense, nutrient-rich bread is where it’s at, is all I’m saying.
