Epic Whole Grain Grit Bread

Are you sick of the white, disgusting bread you buy at the store? Are you angry about all the junk and preservatives they heap into it? Want to know what you are eating? Do you want healthy whole grain and epic bread?

If so, you've come to the right place.

Let's get started

What you're going to need:

1/2 Cup of Water

3 Cups of Whole wheat flour

2 Tablespoons Yeast

1/2 Tablespoon Salt

1 Tablespoon Gluten

Grits

Sunflower seeds (about a handful)

Rye Flakes (about a handful)

Barley Flakes (about a handful)

Hemp Hearts (about a handful)

Oat Bran (about 1/2 of a Cup)

Chia Seeds (about a handful)

Sesame Seeds (about a handful)

Psyllium Powder (about 2-3 Tsp)

Oats (about a handful)

Printable recipe is attached!

The first steps are simple. All that's needed is to dump the ingredients into the bread pan!

Epic Warm Water…………2 Cups

Egg (optional)....................1

Whole Wheat Flour.....……3 Cups

Gluten………..................…1 Tbsp

Salt……......................……1/2 Tbsp

Yeast………...................…1 Tbsp

Throw everything in and move the the next step! (too easy right?)

Now for the good stuff! All the grains and grits! As before, just dump them in!

Sunflower seeds…………about a handful

Rye Flakes………........…about a handful

Barley Flakes…....………about a handful

Hemp Hearts……....……about a handful

Psyllium Powder……...…about 2- 3 Tsp (recommended amount)

If there's anything else you could possibly think of, let me know! I'll be sure to try it! Now we'll let the bread machine do it's thing...

Ok, you've made it this far! Put the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid (duh...). Set the bread machine to dough. On my bread machine, this is number 8. Hit start and let it do the work for you! I suggest setting a timer for the time it takes so you don't for get about it... That happens to me a lot...

Alright! Now that the bread is finished kneading and rising for the first stage, it's time to take it out and form it!

Dump the dough onto a clean, dry, flour covered counter and form it into the basic shape you want. Set it on a parchment covered baking tray, cover it with a dish cloth, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Let's move to the next step!

Note: This step is optional. I only tried this for the first time just now! In the end, it doesn't make too big of a difference, but it still looks pretty epic! If you don't want to do this, skip this step!

Take a sharp razor blade and make quick and fast cuts along the surface of the dough in the shapes you want. When the bread bakes, they will split slightly and create the shape you cut into it! If you're still with me for this step, let's move on to bake it!

You're nearly finished... victory is at your fingertips! All you need now is to bake it!

1 set the oven to 400º F or 200º C (You might be thinking, "why in the world did he include Celsius??!!" Well, my oven uses celsius for some weird reason, so I decided to add it anyways!) Let it heat up, and then put your bread into the oven and bake it for about 20 minutes. It might need more. When it’s looking ready, take the loaf out, hold it upside down, and knock on the bottom with your knuckles. If it sounds hollow, it should be finished!

Now it’s time to enjoy your EPIC creation!!!
