Millet Oatmeal Bread Recipes

MILLET OATMEAL BREAD (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Make sure all dry ingredients and the eggs are at room temperature.
• Grease the bottom of a 10 inch loaf pan or two 8 inch pans. Heat the oven to 200 degrees and then turn off.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer, sift together the dry ingredients. In a separate medium bowl, mix eggs, molasses, vinegar, and melted butter.
• Heat your water for proofing the yeast. In a small prep bowl, stir together your active dry yeast and one teaspoon of sugar. Add 1/4 cup of the heated water to the yeast mixture. Let the yeast sit for 10 minutes. It should be foamy and active! If not, start over with another packet of yeast.
• Once yeast is ready, add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Then add the yeast mixture. Then slowly add the remaining water (should still be warm) to achieve the right consistency of the batter. Since different brands, flours, measuring techniques act different I do not recommend just blindly dumping in the rest of the water but adding gradually instead. The dough should be like very stiff cake batter.
• Beat dough on high for about 15 minutes in mixer. If you accidentally add too much water simply add a little rice flour until you achieve the dough consistency you are after.
• Put the dough in prepared pan and place in oven to rise for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Put plastic wrap or a towel over the pan.
• Once the dough has risen to the top of the pan, bake the bread for 40 minutes at 350 degrees or until internal temperature reaches 190 degrees.

HEARTY MULTIGRAIN SEEDED BREAD

Steps:

• Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; stir in yeast. Set aside until a creamy foam starts to form, about 5 minutes.
• Combine bread flour, whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and salt in a food processor; pulse 4 times. Add chia seeds, wheat germ, flax seeds, millet, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, and 1 tablespoon oats; pulse until incorporated.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture in the food processor; process until a dough ball forms, about 1 minute.
• Turn dough into a well-oiled large bowl and cover with a damp towel; allow to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down and knead a few times. Form dough into an oblong shape and place in a greased bread pan. Lightly press the remaining hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and oats onto the loaf. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm area for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
