Home Cooking. Hearty Whole Grain Rye Bread.

Back from Portugal, and there is no bread in the house. It’s time to make another loaf of hearty whole grain rye bread.

Hearty Whole Grain Rye Bread Recipe: Rye Flour (1 cup); Sprouted Wheat Flour (3/4 cup); Bread Flour (1/4 cup); Whole Wheat Flour (1 cup) Flax Seed (1/4 cup); Chia Seed (1 tbs); Dill Seed (1 tbs); Anise Seed (1 tbs); Caraway Seed (1 tbs); Fennel Seed (1 tbs); dry milk (1/4 cup); cocoa (1 tbs); instant coffee (1 tbs); salt (1 tsp); egg (1 large); flax oil (1 tbs); walnut oil (1 tbs) water (1 1/3 cup); Maple syrup (1/3 cup). Above ingredients added to Panasonic Bread Bakery. Yeast (2 tsp) added to yeast hopper and the unit set for Whole Wheat Bread (Rapid) and started. Three hours later, I removed the loaf of bread. It rose right to the top of the pan — and the house smelled of rye bread. I only let it cool a few minutes before slicing a piece.

I set up a Garmin VIRB-360 camera to record the bread making process for a time-lapse video. Two versions, a little planet and an inverse little planet/tunnel view were combined into one video.

Home Cooking. Hearty Rye Bread.

Hearty Rye Bread Recipe: Rye Flour (1 cup); Bread Flour (1 cup); Whole Wheat Flour (1 cup); Sprouted Wheat Flour (1/2 cup); Flax Seed (1/4 cup); Chia Seed (1 tbs); Dill Seed (1 tbs); Anise Seed (1 tbs); Caraway Seed (1 tbs); Fennel Seed (1 tbs);  brown sugar (1 tbs); honey (2 tbs); dry milk (1/4 cup);  cocoa (1 tbs); instant coffee (1 tbs); salt (2 tsp); egg (1 large); flax oil (2 tbs); water (1 1/2 cup) molasses (1/4 cup). Above ingredients minus the molasses added to Panasonic Bread Bakery. Yeast (2 tsp) added to yeast hopper and the unit set for Whole Wheat Bread (Rapid) and started. Once the yeast had been added, and the mixer started the molasses was added. Three hours later, the loaf of bread was removed and allowed to cool.

The center was too moist (somewhat gummy). Probably due to using honey. Next time, I will cut back on the amount of water (or eliminate the honey).
