Whole Grain Wheatberry Sunflower Bread

Trying to figure out a way to keep your house warm during these bone chilling temperatures? Here is a recipe for a whole grain wheat bread with wheatberries and sunflower seeds…

Yield – 1 small loaf

Prep/cook time – (after soaking wheat berries for 24 hours) about 4 hours

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup lukewarm purified water
• 1/2 egg
• 1 tbsp softened butter
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup wheat berries
• 1 1/2 tbsp shelled sunflower seeds
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tbsp dark molasses
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp wheat guten (optional)

Soak wheat berries at least 24 hours before preparing bread.

Add yeast and water to the mixing bowl. Stir and let rest for 5 minutes. Add all other ingredients to mixing bowl. Attach dough hook and mix on medium speed for about 8 minutes until the dough starts to come away from the bowl. (If bread is too dry, add a tad more water. If it’s too wet, add a tad more flour so that the dough starts to come away from the bowl).

Remove dough hook and cover the bowl and dough for 30 minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles, about an hour. Spray or grease a loaf pan. Roll dough into a rectangle. Roll up jelly roll style and pinch ends to seal. Place in the loaf pan and cover again with greased plastic wrap until double in size again – about an hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

When dough doubles in size, place in oven

Bake 35 – 40 minutes until well browned and loaf feels hollow. If not sure if it’s done, check with an instant read thermometer. Internal temperature of loaf should be 195-200 degrees. Brush with melted butter or with homemade butter (see previous post for recipe) Let cool 20 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!
