3 Seed Bread


Recipe By: On The Rise Bakery/Syracuse NY

1 tablespoon yeast
2 1/4 cups warm potato water, (See Note)
1/4 cup honey
3 cups hard whole wheat flour
1/4 cup safflower oil, plus 2 Tablespoons (3/8 Cup total)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup poppy seeds, plus 2 Tablespoons (3/8 Cup total)
1/4 cup sesame seeds, plus 3 Tablespoons (3/8 Cup total)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds, plus 3 Tablespoons (3/8 Cup total)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats, prepared ahead of time with 3/4 cup boiling water poured over--use warm
1 1/2 cups hard whole wheat flour, (1 1/2 to 2 cups, as needed)

Directions:

Proof the yeast with the potato water and 1/4 cup of honey for 10 minutes.

Sir in the whole wheat flour and it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.

Add the remainder of the ingredients and slowly add enough additional flour to make a workable dough. Knead for 10 to 15 minutes. (If using a food processor do not let it process very long after it forms because the roughness of the seeds will cut the gluten strands.)

Let rise till doubled in a covered, oiled bowl and then shape into 2 loaves. Let rise again, covered, in 2 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes.

Thank you Charlie. Am I reading that right? There's a total of 5 1/2 cups of wheat flour? Added

in 2 stages? And it looks like one is hard whole wheat and the other is whole wheat? There's a difference? I've seen wheat flour but never noticed them labeled differently.

 
I count 4 1/2 to 5 cups of flour-both hard wheat--as opposed to whole wheat pastry--I have ...

always mixed this in a food processor for only about 30 seconds.

You'll love this one as I do.
