This
'from-scratch' recipe is absolutely incredible! While I have
yet to locate 5x7 loaf pans, I used regular size ones, and though the bread was
"short", it's amazing. The blog,
Knead For Bread,
though gone now, once had tons of great recipes. Trust me - this recipe is worth every second of preparation! Soooo Good!

Homemade Bread
makes 10-12 servings
Ingredients:
Day
BEFORE:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup (whole wheat) bread flour
1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast
1 1/4 cup lukewarm water
● Combine the night before ingredients until smooth. Cover with cling
wrap and leave on the counter over night.
DAY OF:
2/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup flax meal
1/4 cup semolina flour
2 tbsp poppy seeds
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp flax seeds
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp yeast
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups bread flour
Coating for the bread
2 tbsp flax seeds
3 tbsp oatmeal
3 tbsp sesame seeds
3 tbsp sunflower seeds
3 tbsp poppy seeds
1 egg white
3 tbsp water
Directions:
● On baking day, pour
the mixture (from the night before) into a large bowl.
● Add in maple syrup, oat meal, wheat germ, flax meal, semolina flour,
poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.
● Using a wooden spoon mix till smooth.
● Add in instant yeast and whole wheat flour, mix till smooth.
● Add in salt and slowly add the bread flour. Add just enough till you are
unable to mix with the spoon.
● Take some of the remaining bread flour and place it on a flat surface.
Only add enough flour till the dough is just slightly tacky, but smooth and
elastic. Knead for 8-10 minutes.
● Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling wrap and set
a side till double in bulk.
● Just before the hour is up pour out the flax seeds, oatmeal, sesame
seeds and poppy seeds onto a cookie sheet.
● In a small bowl combine the egg white and 3 tbsp. of water, set aside.
● Pour out the dough and lightly deflate. Cut dough in half and shape into
loaves.
● Brush the tops of the dough with the egg wash.
● Place a loaf onto the seeds in the cookie sheet. Roll the dough through
the seeds till all the dough is covered.
● Place into a greased loaf pan( 5x7 ). Cover the loaves with cling wrap
and allow to double in size.
● Brush the tops of the bread with the remaining egg wash, this will help
to glue the seeds to the dough.
● Slash the top of the breads.
● Bake in a 375 degree preheated oven for 35-40 min. or when the center of
loaves are 180-185 degrees.
● Allow to cool on a wire rack.
