Ingredients

  • 2 cups lukewarm water (105-115ºF)
  • 1 package (1/4 oz.) dry yeast
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1/6 cup whole oat groats
  • 1/4 cup whole grain rye berries (berries are same as graots)
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, unsalted, shelled
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, sifted
  • 1 1/2 cups whole grain rye flour, sifted
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/8 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup white unbleached flour, for kneading

Instructions

  1. Add whole oat groats and whole grain rye berries to cold water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Adjust heat to have gentle water ripples for 5 min. uncovered. Cover and let stand off of heat for 1 hour. Let the grains cool and sieve.
  2. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Spread the sesame and flax seeds in a pie tin and toast in the oven for 10-12 min. until sesame seeds are pale tan. Mix in the sunflower seeds and set aside. Turn off oven.
  3. Combine 2 cups lukewarm water and yeast and let stand for 10 minutes.
  4. Combine sifted whole wheat and whole grain rye flours, yeast and water mixture, and salt. Beat for 1 min. with heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. This can also be done by hand.
  5. Add the oats, seeds, and groats. Beat for 1 more min.
  6. Let rise in oiled bowl covered with a dry cloth in a warm, dry place. Turn the dough once before placing towel over to grease both sides of dough. Let rise for 1 hour.
  7. Punch dough down and kneed for 5 min. Place in oiled 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and let rise in warm, dry place for 2 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake for 45-50 min with a large baking pan of water on the lower shelf.
